Razzle-frazzle

Well, Miss Devine was out sick yesterday, so now we're in the razzle-frazzle of catching up.

Students took their vocab quiz (Magna words) and grammar quiz (adjectives). Then, they got their new vocab words for the week:

Vis, Vid= look, see
1. envision-v- to imagine
2. revise-v- to look over again
3. vista-n- a view, outlook
4. evident-adj- easy to see or understand
5. visible-adj- can be seen
6. visionary-n- a dreamer, one with a vision
7. evidence-n- something that shows proof
8. invisible-adj- unable to be seen

Then, we discussed plot, setting and characters in our writing. Students finished the peer revision process and then evaluated their own stories, describing the plot, setting and characters in their writing. If any of this was not completed in class, students are to complete it for homework.

Homework: Finish peer revision and plot-setting-characters write-up about your story. Vocab pictures.
