Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: Continuing with our poetry analysis, students used the collective work we completed yesterday to choose 3 pieces to complete. Each student must choose 1 "Theme" assignment, 1 "Imagery/Metaphor" assignment, and 1 "Evaluate" assignment, of which there are three options for each column. These assignments will be due on Google Classroom on Friday.

LITERATURE: Students who have begun their essays should have a robust pre-writing session that follows the process in the image below:

RELIGION: Our review session was shortened by the many questions students have regarding my incentives to have them participate in mass more. I had been concerned by the lack of participation by a number of our students in 6A, particularly as it translates to the effect of their influence over their 3rd grade and TYKE buddies. As a means of evaluating each student's participation in mass, it makes sense to test them regarding the specific aspects of the mass (ie: what were the readings about? who presided over the mass? and similar questions). This came as a suggestion from one of my colleagues and the test I found came from the black-line masters of our Christ Our Life texts. I haven't fully decided on whether to move in this direction but this is what I am thinking.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Our review session for the Ancient Hebrews dovetails nicely with what we are studying in religion class. The Exodus and the story of the patriarchs of the Hebrew faith helps us understand the influence of the Hebrews on those who came after them.
