Language Arts:
   We create five flash cards on PLOT.
   We began Purple Journal Entry #7 investigating cliques and groups (a handout with questions was given that should be stapled into your journal).
   We did a self-evaluation of ourselves after seeing our 1st quarter grades.
    We finished our Character Map of Abraham Lincoln.
    Copies of The Outsiders were handed out.  Three sheets were set up for our study:  One: Vocabulary (we copied our first set of 5 words),  Idioms,  Figurative Language (we added three examples of Allusions).
    Rewrites of the "Clothing" essay introductory paragraphs were handed in.

Homework:
 1. Memorize lines of Gettysburg Address
 2. Final copy of The Hunger Games Movie vs. Book essay due Thursday.  (be sure to include a conclusion)
If someone did not edit your draft, ask someone at home to read yours before rewriting.
 3. Finish journal entry #7 (see above)
