Language Arts:
Today we reviewed grammar. We went over our Simple Solutions Test #4 and practiced picking out the 8 parts of speech and finding complete subjects and predicates.
We watched a Brain Pop video on the Parts of Speech & completed a listening activity.
Our Powerful Practice of Academic and Instructional Vocabulary was introduced.
Our graphic organizer for roots/prefixes and suffixes was modeled for the root "lumin." Students are to complete one for the root: credere.
We continued reading Chapter 26 of The Hunger Games
Homework:
Due Thursday:
1. Study for Test on Grammar (8 parts of speech, define them, what questions do they answer, can you pick them out of a sentence?) Complete and simple subjects; complete and simple predicates.
2. Write the introductory paragraph of an essay on "clothes." Look at our journal entry where we brainstormed what do clothes say about a person. Include a hook.
Due Friday:

The Hunger Games Project
Due Monday:
