Warm Up:
The teacher circulated and asked students one on one for a Steve Jobs fact they learned from the reading. Students wrote three facts about Steve Jobs and practiced writing a lie. They discussed facts in pairs and tried to trick their partner with the one lie.

Best examples of facts:

• Steve Jobs did not like being told what to do. 
• He was adopted. 
• He did not graduate from college

An example of a Lie: Steve Jobs was really a woman.

Review of use of quotes vs paraphrasing

Whole class practice using simple past tense "ate" and various savory foods or desserts were recorded on the board. 

Review of first writing samples:
Importance of having a Subject and Verb in each sentence. Often our subjects are the subject pronouns: I, you, he she it, we, and they. Often they start sentences and the easiest one to miss is "It" especially when working with the to be verb. "It's" is both the subject It and the verb is.

Homework:
Write a Paragraph describing your family. This is your definition of family.
