Period 1 - We worked on our Memoir Brainstorming sheets, making sure that we had our topics, titles and hooks ready to go. We put our memoir in chronological order (beginning, middle and end); we will finish up the brainstorm sheets with a partner on Wednesday. We also received our vocab sheets for this week - words are from The Light in the Forest - and picked two words (in addition to the five class words) from the novel. We will learn those words and write sentences using them (with the part of speech) for the quiz on Thursday.
Period 2 - We continued to work on our Colonies Grids - we located data for each of the colonies from our text book and added them to our papers. We will finish this on Wednesday.
