Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: As promised, students received another writing assignment today. With this task, students are writing a short narrative essay about a road trip they have taken. It is a wonderful opportnity for students to make use of the grammar lessons from last week and employ some helpful transitions as well as different types of supporting details.

LITERATURE: In lieu of music class today, students were given addition time to work on their Where The Red Fern Grows essays. I unpacked a random quotation so that students could see how I might do this. Students should avoid using personal pronouns in their writing and should focus on explaining how and why the evidence supports their theme. For tomorrow's class, students should be ready to peer edit theirs and each other's work. I have also asked for students to share their writing with their families so that they can get another perspective.

RELIGION: Students reviewed the content from earlier this week to prepare for tomorrow's short quiz.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Our classroom activity today consisted of student groups presenting two sides of the same conflict. It involved them looking in to the different perspectives of the scenario and pleading their case (from both sides). The judgement was then passed down by their Pharaoh (Mr. VanRuyven).
