Language Arts 1-31-14

Language Arts 1-31-14

Today we went over the first four journal entries in our Reading Journal (black or purple notebook).
#1 Jack London "Doing the Right Thing
#2 Eyewitness
#3 Two sentences, label parts of speech (we reviewed the parts of speech together and made sure they were labeled correctly)
#4 2nd Quarter Self-evaluation (we listed the grades for all of our other classes -- Math, Science, Social Studies, etc.) and evaluated our grades, set some goals and methods to achieve them
#5  Benchmark 2nd Quarter
Together we reviewed a power point showing the Common Core Standards evaluated by the Benchmark.  We reviewed correct answers and examined our own.  We began to construct the five paragraph essay by beginning with possible leads for the introduction and key ideas that should be included.

Harvard:
Read your man vs. nature novel; book report due Friday 2/7

Yale & Harvard:
1. Write the introductory paragraph of the benchmark in your journal

ALL:
2  Simple Solutions #47
3.  Make sure 5 entries of journal are complete

Yale & Princeton:
Find and begin reading a Realistic fiction novel.
