We completed 10 questions from the writing section of the PSAT. Students talked in their groups to come to a consensus on the correct answer before we discussed it as a whole class. Then they shared one or two things in their Writer's Notebooks that they learned about the test.
We took about 20 minutes to bring the Poetry Party to a close. Groups shared three paragraphs explaining why they chose each poem as the best representative of poetry.
Our next assignment involves ranking 4 short stories by their use of a literary element. Students are working in groups to evaluate the stories based on character development, organization, and other facets of short stories.
