Language Arts 11-19-2013

All:
Read a SCOPE article entitled "Welcome to the Future."  As a journal entry, students jotted down the 12 projected changes and created three of their own.  Class discussed feeling the author had about the future.  Introduced the literary element, tone.

Took notes in our Red notebook on tone, looked at examples.  (Students were asked to go home tonight and explain Tone to someone.)
