Mad libs are funny! & VOX time!

Yesterday was Fernbank. It was great!

6th: Today we began class by reflecting on the mythic creatures exhibit we saw yesterday. We tried to remember the mythic creatures that we saw and the details we learned about them. Then, we had a mythic creature creation contest- who can come up with their own mythic creature and describe it? We shared out some of these. From there, Ms. D. introduced the write-a-myth project. Students selected their topic from the list of 11 topics and will be prepared to research their topic tomorrow before they dive into writing a myth about it. Then, we had time to get together with a partner and exchange mad libs that we wrote. We did the mad libs and heard some FUNNY stories.

7th: Today VOX came to visit. We discussed so many things and learned a lot about becoming journalists. It was a lot of fun- thanks, VOX. Remember that your homework- DUE FRIDAY- is to pick any article in the VOX and respond to it by writng a letter to the editor (see the sheet passed out in class). This is your chance to be published on the VOX blog!
