Language Arts 12-4-13

Today we recorded 10 literary terms.  Homework was to define and provide an example for each.

We took notes on the Literary Element -- Style.

We completed a "short write" using our homework (the "Think and Note" from "A Civil War Journal" by Louisa May Alcott.).  These were collected.

We read and discussed a power point on the "Curse on the Presidency" to complete our non-fiction unit.

Students handed in their book reports.

Students received the Common Core standards for listening and speaking to insert into their binder.

We recorded journal questions from The Outsiders.
