Language Arts:
We discussed and copied down Vocabulary for Chapter 7 of The Outsiders. We took a moment to review vocab from 4-6 and took our test. We learned about the Figurative Language authors may use called jargon. We reviewed euphemisms.
We corrected Simple Solutions #26 & 27 and reviewed definitions of appositives, gerunds and participles.
Homework:
Simple Solutions #28
Test corrections on Test #6 due on Monday; retakes must be completed by Monday afterschool.
Read The Outsiders Chapter 7 and continue work on packet & story box #7.
Long-range:
Clothing introductory paragraphs can still be written for improvement in grade.
The Hunger Games essay: three introductory paragraphs using 3 different lead-ins are due on Tuesday.
BIG TEST -- on the 8 Literary Elements on Tuesday before our holiday (use your flash cards, use your red notebook to study)
REMEMBER:
Monday night is Assessment Night at Hale from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Parents are invited to come and see the kinds of tests their children will be taking this year! Get mom or dad or both to come! We're looking for a BIG turnout -- the Winning homeroom and winning grade level gets a prize!! Let it be us!!
Talk to your parents about "jargon" and "euphemisms." Get someone at home to help you study your literary elements for the test on Tuesday. Have someone re-read your introductory paragraphs for errors before you hand them in. Tell your parents about the new Math Program you heard about on Friday at the assembly!
