Period 1 - 2
We completed our Light in the Forest Jigsaw Activity, and discussed the background and intent of the author, Conrad Richter. We then read Chapter 1 out loud in class.
We corrected the vocabulary worksheet; the vocab quiz is scheduled for Thursday!
We also turned in our three brainstorm ideas for our memoir...
In Social Studies, we completed a crossword puzzle for Chapter 4.2 and a summary question. We will turn those in tomorrow. Number 7 Across is still a mystery...don't worry if you can't find the answer! We will figure that out in class tomorrow!
Period 3
Busy day! We turned in our Fact Sheets and filled out our Light in the Forest Jigsaws. We also corrected our vocab worksheets - the quiz will be Thursday!
We turned in our three ideas for our Memoir. Finally, we checked out our Light in the Forest books and read the introduction. We will read Chapter 1 in class tomorrow!
Period 5 - 6
In Language Arts, we took a quiz on Light in the Forest; corrected Vocab Worksheets, and turned in our Memoir Brainstorm. In Social Studies, we got our JA books and took a pre-test to assess our financial knowledge. We practiced writing summaries for our Social Studies notes and turned them in; we read a selection on the Salem Witch Trials with a partner and answered some key questions.
Tonights homework:
Outline Chapter 4.3, but omit (leave out!) the sections on Daily Life and Customs and The Salem Witch Trials. Also, read Chapter 2 in L/F and bring your independent reading book to class tomorrow.
