Hello!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful break. I know I enjoyed the extra time with my friends and family. Now it is time to get back in school and get focused!
Today in class we wrapped up our debate about athlete’s salaries. We discussed how our views had changed throughout these last few weeks due to the articles that we have been reading. The results of the students’ thoughts can be seen in the pictures below.
We also began a new topic today. We are going to begin reading an informational text about The Black Death. We read an article that helped us gain a deeper understanding of our medical needs. We also watched an informational video about where The Black Death came from. I have added the link to this video in my blog post.
For homework, the students have been asked to go to our online textbook and hover over the text. They are not to read it, yet. We are looking for words we don’t know and making a list of those words. We will need this for an activity that we will be doing in class tomorrow. I have attached the link to our textbook to this blog post as well.
Our journal entry focused on writing about the book that we have been reading. A few students volunteered to get up and share their books with us. We will continue to do this on Mondays throughout the school year.

Have a great evening!
Hello Ms.Traylor about the topic on Black Death is it okay if you may tell me what my topic was because I forgot the paper in school and I’m going to write it on a piece of blank paper and copy it on the regular paper tomorrow, is that fine?
Hello Moody,
Unfortunately, I did not record which student was assigned each section of text. I can narrow it down to two sections but I cannot tell you exactly which one you were assigned. The only way to know for sure was recorded on the sheet that I gave you. You were either assigned Eastern Beginnings or On the Move. You may want to try reading both sections to make sure you are prepared.
