- We started the period by playing Preposition BINGO. The students put prepositions on the BINGO grid in their grammar workbooks. We then played until there were five winners. After the game, the students wrote down as many prepositions as they could without looking at any lists.
- We reviewed "Rules of the Game" by having the students share the important phrases from each page. During our discussion, we covered the literary elements-conflict, point-of-view, setting and personification.
- I then helped the students set up their interactive notebooks for "The Good Daughter" (essay).
- Then I read "The Good Daughter" to them.
- We ended the period with me introducing them to the Short Story Culminating Project. The students are given five projects to choose from. They will complete only one. They will have the entire class period to work on it on Friday. They will then email me their rough draft some time between Mon. Nov. 15 and Fri. 19. The final draft is due on Monday Nov. 22
- Homework: Review all 53 prepositions; check grades online, Think about SS Culminating project and bring necessary materials, Finish "Rules of the Game" questions, and Finish "The Good Daughter" Questions.
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.
