Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: Today was a review day for our English test tomorrow. The test will cover Unit 4 vocabulary and Chapter 8 grammar. We will not be testing verbals so, when studying, please avoid sections 8.5. Students are guided toward sections A & C of the chapter review as well as 8.1 Ex.2, 8.2 Ex. 1&2, 8.3 Ex.2, and 8.4 Ex. 1 in order to best prepare for the grammar section. Students should also study their word lists.

RELIGION: Today we reviewed our section on Moses, the Exodus and the 10 Commandments in preparation for our open-book test tomorrow.

LITERATURE: Student were guided through a pre-writing technique where they capture the details for a scenario into a graphic organizer and then write their composition from that preparation. today we wrote about our experiences with animals (either domesticated or wild).

SOCIAL STUDIES: In exploring a new lesson about the development of writing, we learned how to talk with the text. Previously, much of our experience in learning has been a passive experience. This new way of front-loading questions in order to create a two-way dialogue with the text, changes the dynamic and makes the reader a more active participant in their learning. Additionally, the information absorbed tends to carry more purpose, further helping root the information in their long term memory.
