Language Arts:
Today we continued to examine themes vs. topics.  We practiced good study skills -- we read over the vocabulary for Hunger Games Part III which will be on Monday's test.  We read the highlighted categories of notes in our Red notebook and stopped at any we were unsure of, reading the definitions.  We shared some of the items we reviewed.  We finished Chapter 26 together.  We talked about our Powerful Practice of Academic Vocabulary.
We went over how to write a "Found Poem."  A model poem was presented.
We took the Grammar Test on the 8 parts of speech.

Due Friday:
Test Corrections on SS Test #4
The Hunger Games Project (minus the Found Poem -- you'll have the weekend to work on this)
