In Language Arts today the students spent time learning about story devices. We discussed foreshadowing, suspense, cliffhanger, and flashback. We also looked at and discussed examples that we have seen media we have watched as well as books we have read.
The students also spent time reading the story “All Summer in a Day”. Tomorrow we will finish reading it during class. While reading, the students have been asked to describe the mood, tone, and story devices they have found. We will discuss these in class tomorrow too.
Lastly, the students spent time in the library since today was our library day.
Test retakes for the Unit One Comprehension Test have been scheduled. If students did not sing up during class, they will not be eligible for the retake. They must also bring their signed slip with the required information to the retake or it will not be given.
Since this week is only two days long and I did not want to give extra homework to students, we will NOT be doing Read Theory this week. If students would like to practice at home, they are more than welcome to do so but Read Theory will not be required or graded this week.
Homework:

- AOTW CER Response Due Tomorrow
