Mad Lib editing, Oceania myth reading project & Journalism reading project!

6th: Today we began class by discussing the 6 characteristics of myth. We discussed how we might see one or more of these characteristics in the myths we are reading from Oceania. Then, we edited our Mad Libs project so that over the break we are ready to rewrite our Mad Libs stories with blanks and a word bank. That is our homework. From there, we had time to work in our Oceania myth groups in order to finish reading our stories and complete the graphic organizer and the poster. Poster presentations will be after the break.
Homework: Read and record- remember- you only have to read 3 days over the break! Finish up anything you have to do for your group Oceania myth project. Rewrite mad lib with blanks and do the work bank.

7th: We began class by collecting all homework. Then, while Ms. D. was in a meeting, students worked with Ms. Cannon on their articles for the journalism project. All 3 articles + the summary, annotation and reflection are due the MON we return from break. From there, Ms. D. discussed the field trip to the Chinese Acrobats show on April 18th.
