In Language Arts today the students continued to learn about figurative language.  Today we focused on allusion.  A video that gives examples of allusion has been added to this blog post.

The students also continued researching for their debate presentations.  We watched a debate example in class so that the students would understand how debate works.  We also started organizing our debate presentations with our teammates.  Debates will take place on Monday.

Lastly, the students continued to learn about QAR.  They began reflecting on the types of questions they struggle with.  Tomorrow, we will come up with strategies to help us gain a better understanding of these questions.
