Today in Language Arts the students reviewed the story we read in class yesterday, “All Summer in a Day”. In small groups, we analyze the conflict, genre, story devices, and mood/tone within the story. Then, with a partner, the students were given the major events in the story and they had to put those events in order.
The students also continued to learn about mood and tone by looking at video clips from Inside Out. We discussed how adding elements that weren’t in the original text or film can change the mood and tone too.
Lastly, the students spent time reading. They had the choice between their good fit book and Read Theory. Afterwards, they completed their SSR Log.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
