After being gone last week, I come back to discover that the students were not behaving well and did not finish the essay that was assigned. The students were allowed to take the sources home to complete the essay at home. Here are the sources:
Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 The prompt: Write an explanatory essay about the culture of the American Indians (Native Americans) and why it was thought that they needed to give up their culture to become part of white society. We are currently working on another explanatory essay in class about the effect that wild animals and humans have on each other. Next week, we are back to writing opinion essays. This week in the Florida Ready books, we also started review poetry (Lesson 19) and dramas (Lesson 20). I strongly encourage the students to take home the Florida Ready books to review the lessons we are working on. It's very fast-paced and challenging. For Grammar this week, we practiced Comparing with Adjectives. I'm also continuing to review Text Structure. The students have a test next week. They need to recognize the signal words. This is crunch time. We have one month left to learn how to write before the FSA Writing Test on March 6th.
