1st trimester – Day 51
Took (and graded) vocabulary test: (Lesson 5: jaded, gist, advocate…).
After reviewing the definition of “formal language” (language that uses correct grammar and omits slang expressions and contractions) we wrote 2 notes (one formal and one informal) as the character Roger – thanking Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones for her kindnesses (from “Thank You, M’am”) - see definition on page 922 of Writer’s Choice.
Discussed rules that govern when to underline or use “quotation marks” around titles.
Graded “Necklace” packet.
Reviewed definitions of antagonist vs. protagonist, main vs. minor character, round vs. flat character, dynamic vs. static character – then considered all the characters from each of the six short stories from this trimester and which categories each fit into.
Hung 6-word memoirs posters.
Continued to review for exam - Quiet study time.
Homework:
Use study guide and practice exam to review for final exam.
