In reading and language we have just wrapped up several activites. We completed our "Short Story" unit is which we read "The Tell Tale Heart", "The Dinner Party", "The Monkey's Paw", "Raymond's Run" and "The Lady or the Tiger". The students learned a large number of vocabulary words in addition to extensive discussion of the plot and theme of each story. Students also presented their story board book reports. In language arts this week we worked on our second essay of the year, a narrative essay. We coverd different metods to write introductions and the important elements of a well written essay. Rough drafts are due on Monday.
Next week we will be picking our next book report book, read "Flowers for Algernon" and review how to incorporate dialogue into daily writing.
