Language Arts 2-11-14

Language Arts (Tuesday)
   DO NOW:  Together we investigated "Genres"using a three-page handout.  We practiced taking notes using a graphic organizer.  As pairs, we practiced matching quotes from pieces of literature and which genre they would be classified as.
  We graded Simple Solutions #51.
  (YALE:  peer-edited their introductory paragraph of the Jack London performance essay and handed it in)
  We discussed "Racing the Great Bear" and listened to "Otoonah," another folktale.
  We presented some genealogy projects.

HOMEWORK:
   Simple Solutions #52
   Reread "Otoonah" and complete the guided reading sheet.  Both "Racing the Great Bear" and "Otoonah" will be collected on Thursday.
  Yale and Princeton -- also continue reading your realistic novel.
