Today in Language Arts the students practiced identifying present participles, past participles, and the past tense of irregular verbs.
We also continued to reflect on “All Summer in a Day” by writing a CER analyzing a story element of the students’ choosing with a partner. The students were then asked to choose a different story element to write a second CER. This time, they had to do it independently and give two pieces of textual evidence to support their thinking. If they did not finish this in class, it was assigned as homework. The students will have a similar question on their Unit Two Test next Tuesday.
Have a great evening!
