Block 1
We completed the writing activity from yesterday and looked for elements of plot in each others writing! Very creative ideas emerged! We also practiced taking Cornell notes again, this time for notes on the Middle Ages.
Period 3
We introduced elements of plot today and wrote stories after hearing an exposition (background story) read aloud. We identified the plot sequence in our partners short stories.
Block 2
We listened to some of each others' writing from yesterday and continued with your blitz through 1500 years of world history! Meanwhile, we are learning to take Cornell Notes! At the end of class, we decided where we would like to have lived if we were alive in 1200 AD. Some interesting responses emerged!
