7th Grade--10/14

Today we learned a new WM word (capricious) and practiced using it in sentences such as the following sentences created by students in class today...

• I braced myself for the capricious person
• Darry is capricious, always acting differently towards Ponyboy.

Next, students took their grammar quiz. After the grammar quiz, students continued to work on their outlines and rough drafts for their Outsiders essays. At the end of the period, I took 10-15 minutes to discuss using transitions in essay writing. I passed out a packet of transitions, and we looked at some sample transitions, discussing their effectiveness as a class.
