Greetings!
We had a good day in class and covered a lot of ground.
Quick Write
For today's Quick Writes, we had the following prompts:
1 -- Contribute to the list of Quick Write ideas to be used for my classes for the rest of the year.
2 -- Write about a sports mis-hap that happened to you or that you know about.
3 -- November 18 is National Princess Day and November 16, 1553, was the day that Queen Elizabeth I became the queen of England following the death of her sister, Mary. Write about any royalty that you are especially interested in.
Homework Check
A reminder to students: make sure you correct your grammar worksheets and show on the worksheet or the Google Classroom assignment that you're corrected it. Also, make sure you turn in assignments that you've done on Google Classroom. A number of assignments have been finished, but students have forgotten to turn the work in .
Writing Discussion
Students have been assigned another essay -- a Comparison/Contrast Essay. The Pre-Write and Rough Draft are due the week after Thanksgiving break. We did some brainstorming about how to organize a Comparison/Contrast Essay. On the handout that they were given, they have a couple of organizational plans.
Literature Discussion
We started with our My Antonia book project presentations. We had a model of the farmland around Antonia and Jim's home, an original song, and a "book in a bag." Joe, Tate, Rachael, and Annelise did great work. After Thanksgiving, we'll have presentations from Grace A, Michael C, Sofia P, Nina N, Danica, B, Katelyn G, Gracie M. As part of the project, students need to fill out a self-evaluation rubric about what they think of their own work. (See the link below.)
Grammar
For homework, students are to complete a Phrases Review, which is posted as a Google Form on Google Classroom.
