    Monday--after our long weekend

    POSTED AT 03:48 PM

    Students took the Wk 9 Vocabulary Test.
    Then they started reading "Masque of the Red Death" in class.  They used the reading guide questions to help them monitor what they were reading.  If you were not in class  to receive these, just use the questions at the end of the story in the book.  
     
    We went over the grammar homework.  In the enriched classes, we checked Lessons 11 & 12 (not for pts). In the honors classes, we corrected wkbk pgs. 23-26.  Students used the remainder of the classtime to work on their comfort cards.

    POSTED AT 11:04 AM

    We completed BQ #26 and turned in this weeks bell quizzes.
    All students took the "Open Window" Reading Check quiz.  We then discussed the story. Students wrote constructed response answers to a question about the story.  They used the new gold constructed response rubric as a guide for their answers. They turned in their answers before they left the class.

    Tuesday--
    We took notes on Adverbs.  Ms. Anderson passed out Progress Reports.
    1st, 3rd, & 5th worked on the adverb homework in class and went over the Wk 8 Vocab.
    2nd and 5th periods continued to score the last six constructed response answers for "The Lottery" using the method we learned yesterday.  Then they worked in groups to compare answers and come up with a consensus.
     
    Monday--
    Ms. Anderson introduced the Constructed Response Rubric.  She then modeled how to use the rubric to evaluate and provide feedback for sample constructed responses. The class then practiced evaluating samples; we discussed our results.

    For Tuesday 10/13 and Wednesday 10/14

    POSTED AT 10:07 AM

    Tuesday 10/13--
    BQ #23 (We skipped #22)
    I introduced the three elements of a constructed response.  Students then practiced writing a constructed response for questions from "Through the Tunnel".  Students received a handout outlining the elements of a constructed response.
     
     
    Wednesday 10/14--
    Today, many students were involved with the PSAT, so students who were in class worked independently on their homework.  If you missed class for any reason today, make sure you check the homework page.  You need to make sure you have the 6 Rules for End Marks, handout "Put an End to That!", and the two constructed response questions for "The Lottery".  All of these things are available on Handouts.

    Yesterday, students completed workbook pages 12-13 in class and turned in before the bell rang. The remainder of the class students worked on Ch. 2 Analogies.

    Students turned in the Princess Bride Scavenger Hunt; remember you can not use a homework pass on this assignment.  We went over the Week 6 words.  Students took notes on linking verbs and practiced with page 14 from the green grammar workbook.
