Language Arts 10-24-14

Language Arts
   Today we started our first journal entry of the next Purple/Black notebook grade.  #1  Power and Economics:  Are all people in American society equal?  What makes them equal or unequal?  Explain.
   We brainstormed ideas to add to our journal and discussed how "education" is the great equalizer.

   Yale & Harvard -- completed Born Worker comprehension activity.  We proofread our introductory paragraph for our essay on The Hunger Games Movie vs. Book.  We graded SS #19.

   Princeton listened to the story "Born Worker" and completed the question about Gary Soto.  Princeton handed in their vocabulary activity on frag/frac.

All handed in their draft on "Clothing."

Homework:
   SS #20 for H & Y -  Frag and Frac vocabulary activity due
   SS #19 for P
All: write the 3 body paragraphs for our essay on The Hunger Games Movie vs. Book.
