8th Grade--11/14

Today we learned a new WM word (craven...not to be mistaken for cravin'), and we practiced using it in sentences. Next, students took a reading comprehension quiz on TKAM, and a short pretest on commas, colons & semi-colons. The data from this preassessment will guide my instruction on Thursday.

Following the quiz, students worked in groups to determine the tools of persuasion used by Atticus during the closing arguments of the trial. We shared these observations as a group, and then discussed the reading further, concentrating on the judicial system (as is being discussed in social studies) and the racial tensions of the novel.


Due tomorrow...
-Book Talk #2

Long term deadlines...
-TKAM Chapters 25-end for 11/21
