6th: Today in class we worked on the writing piece that will accompany our pizza box project. We used this paragraph starter sheet to begin writing our 6 paragraphs. We wrote our 1st draft of writing, got a peer to revise it and then began to write our final copies. Complete pizza boxes and write-ups are due on Friday.
Homework: Complete the writing aspect of pizza box project. Don't forget to bring in the slip to let Ms. Devine know if you will be bringing in foods for Friday's cultural food day.
7th: Today, we began class by reading a case study about the United Fruit Company and answered questions about it, determining the kind of government in Guatemala at the time of the study. We discussed our opinions about what we read and the type of government we determined it to be. Then, we broke off into groups to discuss our deep questions about The Giver, went off and had AMAZING book conversations and then presented to the class what our groups discussed. Then, we used this sheet to talk about reading and using quotes to describe the way we felt about characters in the book. For homework, complete the 2 practice paragraphs, designating the topic sentence, set-up, quote and explanation sentence.
Homework: See above description. Also, keep reading The Giver. Chapters 16-19 & reading activities due Friday.
