Language Arts 2-20-14

Purple Journal entry #9
We listed types of figurative language and added examples and genres.
This was creating a study guide for tomorrow's performance assessment test!

We listed to "Pecos Bill," a tall tale and began a guided reading sheet

We examined "The Girl in the Lavender Dress" and the summary which we wrote.  We worked on using precise language (calling it an "urban legend" instead of "story"), etc.

We shared the urban legends or origin myths that we researched with a partner and handed them in.

Homework:
Study for test on genres and figurative language.
Complete guided reading sheet for "Pecos Bill" which started on page 959. (careful, guided reading sheet had the wrong page #, be sure you change it).


Long term:

Grammar handbook lessons 25-50 due Tuesday, February 25th.

8th grade picture retakes:  Monday, February 24th.

ISATs begin:  week of March 3rd
