Period 1 -2
We learned about using Credit (page 17) today, and filled out pg 18 in our JA books. Good discussion!
We took our Vocab test on the words from "My First Free Summer" and read an example from our Lit books of a memoir; we began brainstorming for our personal memoir, filling out a graphic organizer.
In Social Studies, we began creating a graphic organizer of the English colonies; to be continued in class on Monday!
No weekend homework except independent reading! Also, if you haven't read through Chapter 3 in Light in the Forest, complete that on your own.
Period 3 -
We took our vocab and comprehension quizzes today; following that, we read through a sample memoir in our lit book (Jalapenos, Anyone?) and began working on our graphic organizer for our own memoir. We will complete that activity on Monday in class.
Period 5 -6
We turned in the worksheet on Light in the Forest (Chapters 3 and 4), read the sample memoir in our Lit Book (Jalapenos, Anyone?) and began working on our brainstorming sheets. In Social Studies, we worked on our analysis of the English Colonies, creating a baseline for understanding their unique characteristics.
