Hello!<\/p>\n

I did a journal check in Language Arts once bell work was complete. \u00a0The following are the journal topics:<\/p>\n

Divergent: In Divergent, Tris has to face her fears through simulations. \u00a0If you had to face your fear in a simulation, what do you think yours would look like?<\/p>\n

The Giver: In what ways do we preserve memories in our society? \u00a0Is this the same as how Jonas’s society preserves memories in his? \u00a0Why or why not?<\/p>\n

Once bell work was complete, students were given time to copy their assigned terms from the previous day onto final draft paper. \u00a0I have attached pictures of the word wall to this blog post. \u00a0Towards they end of class, we defined theme and related this to our novels. \u00a0We chose to focus on the idea of making choices. \u00a0We made a list of all the choices we had made from the time we woke up this morning until we got to Language Arts. \u00a0We discussed how this compares to the choices Tris and Jonas are allowed to make. \u00a0We also discussed how we would feel if our choices were controlled like Jonas’s and Tris’s.<\/p>\n

I did spend time assigning homework to students while they are on break. \u00a0The first thing they need to complete is an hour on mobymax.com in the vocabulary section. \u00a0The username is their name in all lowercase letters. \u00a0The password is the student ID number. \u00a0For most students, the username is their first name. \u00a0Others are using their last name. \u00a0They should know which one they need to use. \u00a0Once they log in, they are to complete the vocabulary placement exam. \u00a0One this is complete, the boarder around the question will change from blue to green. \u00a0Some students have already completed this step. \u00a0Once they have completed the placement exam, they are to work in the vocabulary section for sixty minutes by the end of break. \u00a0They will have to take the SRI test on May 15th and I do not want the break to hinder their vocabulary skills.<\/p>\n

In addition to mobymax.com, the students need to complete the reading log. \u00a0They should have 100 minutes for this week and 100 for next week. \u00a0This should be easy to complete because I have also assigned reading from the novel. \u00a0Students reading Divergent are to have read through chapter 27 of their novel by the time we return from break. \u00a0They also need to hover for words they do not know. \u00a0Students reading The Giver need to be through chapter 16 by the time we return from break. \u00a0They need to hover for words they do not know as well. \u00a0To ensure that all students read, I will be giving a summative comprehension quiz on Monday when we return from break. \u00a0This does not require studying. \u00a0As long as the students have read, they will be successful on the quiz.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we will be having a vocabulary quiz on the words we have been working with in class for the past two days on Wednesday, April 30th. I have attached pictures of the word wall to this blog post. \u00a0I have also updated vocabtest.com so students can use this to study. \u00a0The username is trayloa and the password for Divergent students is Divergent Chapters 6-15. \u00a0The password for Giver students is The Giver Chapters 4-9. \u00a0Words from the old vocabulary lists may appear on the quiz as well. \u00a0The old password for Divergent students is Divergent Chapters 1-5 and the password for Giver students is The Giver Chapters 1-3.<\/p>\n

If anyone has any questions over break, please feel free to post to this blog, send me a note on mobymax.com or email me at trayloa@dearbornschools.org. \u00a0I should be checking these three places every other day if not daily.<\/p>\n

Have a great and safe break! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
