Stringy Sentences and Anne Frank, Act I: 3Literature
We shared a couple of ACE paragraphs for the characterization of Mr. Frank, and then we turned in our Act I: Scenes 1 and 2 study guides. We finished dramatizing Act I: Scene 3 and talked about key vocabulary words. We will continue with our discussion of Scene 3 tomorrow. Students need to remember to bring their new study guide for this section of the play. We will continue to look at the external and internal conflicts of the play and to make inferences about the characters and their relationships with each other. Composition We turned in our Warriner's packets covering modifiers, and then we began a new set of exercises in which we identified problems with "stringy sentences." Students were able to revise the sentences by using the modifiers we have studied this past week. Our ultimate goal is to use these strategies in our own compositions later this week. IXL Tutorial videos are now posted for our new set of IXL Skills (Z.1 through BB.1) due on Friday, March 18. Independent Reading Students had time during class to continue reading their books. Survey #4 is due on Friday, March 18 by 7:00 PM. Comments are closed.
