Language Arts 2-13-14

Language Arts (Thursday)
   Today we discussed the story "Ottoonah."  We examined the plot, characters and theme.  We handed in our double assignment on "Racing the Great Bear" and "Ottoonah" which was handed out on Monday.  We shared topic sentences and leads.
   We defined the three vocabulary words for "Souls of Purgatory" on page 938 (note change in page # from sheet; also question on simile should have the page # 940).  We listened to this Mexican folktale and began a guided reading (to be finished for homework).
   We corrected Simple Solutions #52 and shared genealogy reports.

Homework:
  Review Simple Solutions (test will be Monday on Lessons 49 to 52; packet will be due).
  Complete "Souls of Purgatory" guided reading sheet.
  Finish reading your realistic fiction novel (Yale & Princeton)
  File your papers and get your portfolios signed.
