Period 1 - 2
We took a Social Studies test over Chapter 3 and corrected it in class. We discussed what worked and what didn't work with our notes; we will practice writing clearly, and making sure we write everything down that appears in class powerpoint presentations!
We brainstormed "What is a memoir?" and listened to a few written by 8th graders. We read through lists of questions for memoirists, and will have a list of three possible topics by next Tuesday. We also received our vocab list for next week - only five words this time! This quiz will be next Thursday.
