English 8th: Students worked in their journals today with both DOL and a writing topic. The rubric and grading system for their journals was explained. The vocabulary packet was corrected and unfamiliar words discussed. We completed the next vocabulary item, categories, together as a class. Because we got started late on the vocabulary program this week, students may skip the "context" category. *homework: vocabulary - definitions (all vocab. due Friday)
Geography 7th: Students explored their online textbooks further, learning all the features available. They worked in groups, then presented their findings to the class. We also discussed the general reading procedure followed when reading textbooks in groups and will start this tomorrow. *homework: current event due Friday
English 7th: Students worked in their journals. The rubric and grading system for their journals was explained. They were given the MAZE comprehension assessment, which measures literal text understanding. This is one of a series of assessments given througout the year to track progress and growth. Today's spelling assignment is "meaning" (or definitions). Students may choose how to complete their word meanings (flashcards, definitions, or crossword). A demonstration of Eclipse Crossword creator was given (the link to download this program is on my blog). *homework: spelling (meaning) - all spelling work due Friday
