Language Arts 2-28-14

Students finished making corrections to their Genre/Figurative Language Tests and handed them in.

We completed a "Short Write" on the two short stories about "Athena and Arachne." (7-10 sentences)

We added five flash cards to our deck on the Poetic element of "sound" and reviewed terminology we already studied.

We edited each other's haikus and received our rough drafts of our "Fortunately" and "Origin Myths" so that we can publish a final copy for Monday.

Our Poetry teams met to discuss our poems and review jobs.

(Harvard: also took a exit quiz on our novel, The Skin I'm In)

HOMEWORK:
Publish final copies of "Fortunately" and "Origin Myth" (Yale/Harvard: also "Haiku)
Update your flash card deck for grading next week.
Be sure your purple journal is ready for grading next week (we have eleven entries for this marking period).
Jobs assigned by your poetry teams.
(Harvard: also read chapters 6-10 and continue looking for evidence on character traits and themes).

Simple Solutions should be completed from 53 to 56
