Class on 1/18/18

Warm Up
In Pairs students discussed a movie or book they like. Later they joined another pair and in groups of four then learned each others names and the book or movie that they like. Later, a volunteer from each group reported out the names and favorites of each classmate in their group. Students did a great job!

Roll Call and Simple Past Tense
Two volunteers recorded verbs while each student stated one thing they did that morning. No verbs could be repeated. Students did very well.

Writing Sample
Students were asked to write a paragraph about the same book or movie that they already discussed. No rules or review of paragraph definitions were discussed. The first review of samples shows a good understanding of formatting, use of subjects, and periods. There was some run on sentences. All students used some periods successfully.

Homework:
Students got hand outs of pages 3-6 as not all students have the books.
Read about Steve Jobs pages 3-5. Read 1 time without stopping. Read a second time and look words up in a dictionary. Compile a list of 8 words and explain what they mean in your own words. DO NOT COPY THE DEFINITION FROM A DICTIONARY BUT PROCESS AND EXPLAIN AS IF TO A FRIEND.
