Welcome back. Hope you had a great weekend. I sure did.
We quickly graded last Friday’s vocabulary quiz. Hope you scored well so you don’t have any vocabulary homework.
Today’s warm-up
Something Good…
- No one can comment until everyone has shared.
- Each person shares 1 positive experience that happened last week.
- Answer the following in your journal:
- Were there any similarities between the “good things” you shared?
- When was the last time you told someone about a positive experience?
- How can you tell if others are using good listening skills?
- How did you feel while sharing with your group?
After focusing on group collaboration we shared the material that you worked on last Friday: “How do you know you are an adult?” Most of the groups came up with the same idea: Being able to think for yourself. That’s a tough one, but I’m going to do my best to use little strategies to help you practice that one.
Then we looked at “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan in the red literature book. It starts on page 49. I also asked you to take reading notes as we read focusing on details, imagery, and dialogue–especially how dialogue tells us about the speaker.
Study vocabulary and read from p. 49-55 in your red lit books.
