In Language Arts today the students continued to learn about the pyramid of action.  We practiced defining these words and then applying them to the story, The School Play. Today the students focused on the exposition, rising action, and the climax.  Tomorrow they will be finishing up the story with the falling action and resolution.  The students were also introduced to the author’s purpose for writing a story.  We added this idea to our interactive notebooks too.  Lastly, we played a vocabulary review game during class time today in order to help students prepare for their vocabulary test on Thursday.

Have a great evening!
