Today in 6A & 6B

RELIGION: Students wrote their chapter 13 quiz and later worked on their research essays.

ENGLISH: Today was our first peer review session for our research essays. For each paper we review of others we need to follow the below process:
1-Each peer will review our essay 4 times
2-First read - looking at sentence structure and grammar. Does this flow nicely?
3-Second read - Review transitions - Is it repetitive? Are there transitions? Are they appropriate?
4-Third read - Review clinchers - Are they wrapping up their idea nicely?
5-Fourth read - Review spelling - Are all words spelled correctly?
6-Always ask "How does this support the thesis/claim statement?"
7-Provide suggestions for all of the above. Suggestions should be helpful and lead to better writing.

LITERATURE: I reviewed the expectations for participation in the Socratic Seminar which will be held on Tuesday of next week. Students are expected to created detailed notes that will help them not only express their impressions and understanding of the story, but will help get them involved in the conversation.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We used our time to work in our polis groups.
