Like always, we started the day with independent reading time and a Writer's Notebook entry. Today's entry was based on The Power of Holding On. Students could respond and agree or disagree with the speaker, or they could choose to write their own "I believe" entry. In hindsight, I probably should have chosen a different mentor piece for this entry because I don't think the kids connected with this speaker.
We began a Poetry Party! that will take us a few days to complete. The "party" involves 4 very different poems that students will analyze using TPCASTT then rank based on 10 criteria. The assignment is posted on Classroom--ask a student if you want to know the whole story!
