For our writer's notebook entry today, we read 10 Benefits of Reading: Why You Should Read Every Day. Students responded to the article in a full page entry about their reading habits or their favorite benefit of reading. The benefit I found most important was "Vocabulary Expansion." I'll be checking notebooks on Wednesday, so be sure your entries are up to date!
Students presented their Add-a-Scene projects. Good use of props and visual effects, just really great work overall!
We began preparing for the midterm. We worked in small groups to read two nonfiction pieces and answer questions. We also looked at a sample revising and editing section. We'll examine specific terms tomorrow that students will need to know for the test.
Here's today's board with specifics. (I think I'll start adding this to each blog entry. If I take the picture at the end of the day, all of the notes I've made over the course of the day should be there.)
From the guidance office: HOBY applications are now available. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation is a state leadership seminar is designed to empower 10th grade students to recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, and community. The seminar is 3 – 4 days, and students will have a life-changing experience and develop leadership skills which will serve them long into the future!
