Period 1 - 2
We listened to the CD of Tom Sawyer Chapter 23. We discussed what we think Twain was trying to tell us in that Chapter. Tomorrow - the trial!
In Social Studies, we completed our outlines and worked on our maps of Lewis and Clark's expedition and the Louisiana Purchase.
Period 3 -
Lots of assignments to finish up - we decided on Thursday for an absolute due date for everything! Here are the assignments:
Complete vocab definitions and sentences for words 50-59 (the test will be next week!)
Finish the comic strip for Chapter 22
Finish the handout on chivalry (A Hero for all Seasons). For that assignment, you are choosing seven elements of the chivalric code and checking off the ones that Tom Sawyer fulfills. We will check in on him at the end of the novel and see if he grew or changed!)
Period 5 - 6
We started with SSR - all reading pages are due by Wednesday, March 17 - for Trimester 2.
We read Tom Sawyer Chapter 25 and began working on conflicts in the novel in small groups. Vocab words 41-49 were assigned; the test will be on Friday. Vocab words, definitions and sentences are due this Thursday. Also due Thursday: the map of the Louisiana Purchase.
