Class on 3/6/17

NO CLASS on 3/8/17. It is a FLEX DAY.

Warm Up: Students formed sentences about their weekend. They were asked to use each of the following coordinating conjunctions:

  • , and 
  • , but
  • , so

Emphasis was placed on the need for a subject verb combination on each side of the conjunction

Students shared their free writing and ideas about their favorite sport of hobby. They then helped each other form a focused Topic Sentence. Each partner shared out the other student's TS. Examples include:

  • Music makes me feel relaxed. 
  • Hiking is a fun activity and has several benefits. 
  • Cooking healthy has many benefits.

Students turned in Final Draft of a Memorable Event paragraphs
Work book review of 61 and 62. Introduction to For Example, and For Instance and concluding phrases pages 63 and 64.

Homework: 
Workbook P 63 # 7 and P 65 and 66
Write a rough draft paragraph about your favorite hobby or sport. Use the focused topic sentences we developed with partners (and shared with the whole class).
