In Language Arts today the students were given time for SSR.
Afterwards, they hovered for words they did not know in the play, “The Prince and the Pauper”. We will be reading this play in class next week and using it to analyze characters. We also looked at some background information about Mark Twain since he is the author of “The Prince and the Pauper”.
With the remainder of class time, the students looked at the prompt from their test from yesterday. However, the prompt was slightly changed to ask students to write an essay as opposed to a constructed response. They were given time to break down the prompt and think about what the directions were asking. They then reflected on what they did on their test yesterday based upon the prompt breakdown. The students were then asked to write an introduction paragraph as if they were going to write an essay. If they did not finish writing the introduction, it was assigned as homework due tomorrow. They DO NOT have to write out an essay. We are ONLY practicing writing introductory paragraphs.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
