Friday, January 9th, 2015

Today we completed a DO NOW where we learned the term "understatement" and its meaning.  We examined an example and identified parts of speech.
We read an informational text article about the existence of other life forms and completed a 7 to 8 sentence summary beginning with a lead and a thesis statement that included the title and author.
I met with each student and went over their current grade & cummulative average. We also discussed the family tree theme chosen & data collected.  Students received their tag board paper to complete the final project.  I collected Book reports and biographies.

Homework:
Simple Solutions #40
Figurative Language Menu (continue working on it)
Genealogy project (continue your work)

SciFi test was postponed until Tuesday.
