I apologize for not posting on Friday. I became ill and was unable to be at school. Hopefully, the blog post from today will catch everyone up to speed on what we are doing in Language Arts.
On Friday the students were given more time to finish up their debate presentations. They will be presenting today in class. Their presentations are summative. My goal is to have grades completely updated by the end of the day.
In addition to debating today in class, the students continued to practice identifying figurative language. Our quiz on figurative language will be on Friday.
Lastly, the students applied their knowledge of QAR by reflecting on the types of test questions they frequently missed. They wrote down strategies to help them answer these test questions in the future.
Tonight is our Bryant PTA Fundraiser at On the Boarder on the hill. Any student who goes can present their receipt to me in class tomorrow for a homework pass to be used in Language Arts.
Homework:
- Read for 20 minutes
- Study for Figurative Language Quiz
