Today, we did more practice with vocabulary and began our grammar study of adverbs. We watched a film, "Black Dawn," about the Haitian Revolution in order to provide visual imagery for our narrative writing. After, we discussed what students learned from the video, how what we saw compares to what we know of modern-day Haiti and how what we saw could impact our writing. Then, we conferenced with our peer-revisers and decided on at least two things that we could modify to improve our narrative writing. Tomorrow, students will be making those changes and rewriting their 2nd draft of their story.
Homework: Vocab pictures. Page one of adverb packet. Students may begin to rewrite their second draft if they like.
