Quizzing and rough drafting is what we do-

Happy Tuesday to all! Today in Humanities, students took their spelling/vocab quiz on the BENE root words. Then, they received new spelling words for the week. These words are:

SUB= below, under
1. subject-n- one that is placed under the control of another
2. subterranean-adj- below the surface of the earth
3. subsequential-adj- following something
4. submerge-v- to put below the surface of the water
5. subtitle-n- title below the main title
6. subdue-v- to bring under control
7. submit-v- to yield to authority
8. subversiive-adj- going against the government

Students reflected on their writing process and what it means to write a first draft. Miss D modeled using her graphic organizer full of information and turning it into the first draft of the informational article. Then, students began to write their own first drafts.

HOMEWORK: Vocab pictures for the new SUB words. Students may choose to work on their rough drafts, but there will be class time tomorrow to complete them as well.
