Language Arts 4-1-2014

Happy April!

Today we created a journal entry listing, describing, finding evidence of character traits of the main characters in our novels.  You should continue to add to this page as you read the novel.

We watched a brain pop on Shakespeare and took a quiz.
   New vocab words:  sparse
                                  prolific

We spent some time discussing or reading our novels.

We acted out Scenes 4 & 5 of Act I of Romeo & Juliet.


Collected today:  RoadtoGrammar quizzes,  novel assignments for Princeton & Harvard

HOMEWORK:
Princeton: Read the next four chapters (12, 13, 14, 15)  in your novel; create a three-step.
