Bellringer: What is your favorite memory? Provide at least 3 reasons for support.
Recap: We finished reading the story "The Bully," which was shared with you last week. We then compared this story to "The Hero," pointing out similarities and differences between the two, and also sharing what we liked and disliked about each. As a class, we also discussed which of our literary terms we could use to comment on each piece of writing.
I want you to continue reading. Read everything. Read articles, newspapers, good books, bad books. Just read! The more you expose yourself to, the better you will become. You will pick up on different styles and techniques that you like and don't like, and all of it will help you to become better.
Following our discussion, I shared with you your requirements for your first piece of writing. This will be composed throughout the week. I asked you to start with your favorite memory, or one you think of fondly. We will work on expanding on details, and adding more description. Later this week we will also peer edit.
I have also shared with you your vocabulary list for the words that will be on Friday's quiz. I have narrowed the list down from 47 to 25 words.
Also, please see your class's page (the tabs at the top). I have posted the first prompt of our blog prompts. You will need to respond to at least 10 this semester.
Have a nice night!
