Bellringer: What did you do with your two days off? Tell me in at least 3 sentences? (Please note: saying ‘nothing’ is not an acceptable answer.)
Recap: We read a short story called "The Hero" today, and then held a brief discussion about all of the elements the author had included in such a brief piece of writing.
We then began reading "The Bully," but we will finish it in class tomorrow.
The purpose behind reading both of these stories was to 1.) understand how to compose a brief, nonfiction piece, 2.) gather ideas about a piece you would like to begin writing, and 3.) compare and contrast the two authors' styles of conveying a piece of writing.
Homework: Please begin considering a brief story that you would like to re-tell. We will begin composing ideas in class tomorrow.
If you did not have your vocabulary for me today, please have it finished for tomorrow. You will have a test on the words next week.
Stay safe! Be careful around melting snow that can re-freeze tonight!
