Hoy es martes. (Today is Tuesday.) Today in Humanities, students turned in their weekly reading response and pages read tally. They took a vocabulary/spelling test over their SUPER vocab words and received new weekly vocab words. Then, we went over the Reading Strategy review sheet from yesterday. Students are aware that they will have a Reading Strategy test tomorrow and must bring their independent reading book to use on the test. Students received mini-mailboxes with feedback tickets from their oral presentations and they set goals for ways that they could improve their future oral presentations.
The vocabulary words for the week are:
MONO= one
1. monotheism-n- belief that there is only one god
2. monopolize-v- to dominate by excluding others
3. monogamy-n- marriage to only one person at a time
4. monomaniac-n- a person who is obsessed with one idea or subject
5. monarchy-n- government by one person with absolute power
6. monolingual-adj- using or knowing only one language
7. monotonous-adj- repeating and dull or using a single tone of voice
8. monologue-n- long speech by one person
HOMEWORK: Students should make sure they're ready for their Reading Strategies test tomorrow. They should also draw a picture to represent each of their new MONO vocab words.
