Wednesday Update

This week has been a busy one so far. Here's what we've been doing and here's where we're headed by the end of the week!

Monday: We went over our Lesson 2 vocabulary words. They all have the root "AUDI" or "PHON"
We also learned about the elements of short stories. We read an interesting story called "The Dinner Party" by Mona Gardner.

Tuesday: We discussed the elements of plot in detail and put the animated film "Cinderella" on a plot diagram.

Today: We will be reading a short story entitled "The Bear Boy" and putting it on a plot diagram.

Thursday: We will go to the library where everyone should check out a novel for their first book report. I will give you the instructions for this report at a later time, but for now be sure that you always have your independent reading book in class.

Friday: Weekly Quiz #2
We will also learn how to write an objective summary. You will be finishing your rough draft over the weekend.
