Today in 6A & 6B

RELIGION: Students reviewed for their test tomorrow. Their notes will be their best and only resource for studying.

ENGLISH: Students spent their time wisely studying for tomorrow's unit/chapter test. I sat with several students who wanted to review some of the material. The suggested review can be found below.

LITERATURE: 6A finished our "Where The Red Fern Grows" red today and there were a few tears along with a resounding consensus that "this was a good book." That said, I agree. Students know that one week from tomorrow they will have their assessment due, the details of which are on Google Classroom. I recommended to the class that they spend some time over the weekend narrowing down their list of quotes and tabbed pages to find 5 of their best pieces of evidence to use in their essay. Some asked if they could use more, and of course the answer is yes, however it is essential that this essay not become a banner of strung-together quotes, but an unpacking of their meaning and how they impact or justify the theme they chose.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Today students made their own Cartouches. A cartouche is an identifying hieroglyph that indicates a person's name. Using a simple generator, students plugged in their own first names to identify what their cartouche would be. After screen shotting their cartouche, students then drew it on to a piece of watercolor paper and prepared to illuminate the images with color. Students will continue this process tomorrow.
