Today we went over our common and proper noun homework from Friday. Then, we practiced with singular and plural nouns. There will be a noun quiz on Friday and students who are having trouble understanding the noun activities we've done in class need to get lunchtime help from Ms. Devine or Mrs. Tillery before Friday.
We did a LOT of organizing in class today, especially of pizza boxes and folders.
We met in book clubs and began with a member grid activity. Then we discussed the idea of "historical context" in our books. We decided that historical context is what parts of history are actually true in our books. In book clubs, we made a list of all the events, people, dates and instances that seem like part of the historical context of our book. Then, using a timeline of WWII and the Holocaust, we highlighted words, phrases and dates that seemed to connect with the historical context of our book and then wrote down WHY what we highlighted connects with our book. This is to be finished for homework if it's not finished in class.
Homework: Singular/plural noun sheet- both sides. Read. Continue to work on noun index card/bookmark (due Wednesday). Finish timeline activity (highlighting and writing connections) if you did not do so in class.
