- We started by making sure the students had their homework in order. We checked and collected the WOR-3 original drafts, reflection and typed revision; color test and $$ for workbooks.
- They students then worked in small group to share information about the character they were assigned to describe on the first day. Each student had approximately 3 minutes to share the adjectives, quotes and commentary they gathered on their assigned character.
- We then shifted gears to Colors. I shared the True Colors Power Point to introduce what each color means. Once the students had a good understanding of each color, we transitioned back to Ender's Game.
- I described the paragraph assignment that the students will work on during the next two weeks. Today the objective was to decide on a character, determine his/her color, find a quote to support the color and find a real world connection (another person with the same color and describe why).
- The students were given some time in class to get started on this.
- I passed out and explained the Vocabulary for Achievement (VFA) workbook.
- We ended the period by reviewing the homework: Finish and rehearse the Personal Museum; Complete the EG Paragraph Pre-Writing Assignment (page 2), complete VFA #1-2
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
