RELIGION: Today's review class also saw students opening their Bibles in order to locate and examine some selected passages. To incentivise these kids I offered a hard candy as reward for the first two groups completed. This was helpful in turning their focus from "getting it done" to "getting it done well and on time."
ENGLISH: After reviewing our flash cards, students were given the remainder of class to complete their drafts of their unit 9 composition which employs figurative language. They will return tomorrow for some peer reviewing and editing, in order to submit by the end of class. If your student does not ask for you to read their work, please ask them for it. I would love all students to have a family member and/or friend to edit their work for them.
LITERATURE: Today was extra special as we welcomed Joe Quy Nguyen to our class. Joe is Martin Vu's great-uncle, was born in Vietnam, and lived there during the war. During his 40 minute talk, he gave our students some valuable first-hand accounts of what life was like for him in 1967-68 in Vietnam as we reflect on the characters from The Wednesday Wars.
SOCIAL STUDIES: We continued our exploration into our Buddhism unit as we examined some of the core Buddhist beliefs while reviewing what we learned yesterday. For homework, students are assigned questions 1-7 on page 227.
