Language Arts was a little bit different today than a typical class period due to the power outage on Thursday and Friday and my absence on Wednesday afternoon.
My second hour students spent time reading chapters 12-14 of Tuck Everlasting and focusing on comprehension questions from the novel.
Third and fourth hour students spent time writing the body paragraphs for their literary analysis and analyzing vocabulary from Tuck Everlasting.
All of the students spent time analyzing the text features for their article of the week and predicting what they article is going to be about. The students also spent time writing their reading log response and getting organized for the remainder of the marking period.
Due to the power outage, all late work was due today by 3:05. Additionally, the poetry quiz was moved from today to tomorrow.
At this point, all grades are completely updated. Please monitor them carefully since the marking ends on Friday. I will be putting the quiz grades on this marking period so grades will be changing a bit this week.
Have a great evening!
Homework:

Poetry Quiz Practice
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty
Had a great fall.
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty
Together again.
