Today we worked on some editing/proofreading exercises using my amazing first period's short answer response sentences. (The vocabulary test scores were much improved this time; I'm very happy with the results thus far!) After that, we talked about writing effective leads and the different strategies authors use. Students received a handout with examples of these types of strategies, and we will continue to explore a variety of leads/hooks to interest our readers.
Tomorrow is Reader's Workshop, so everyone needs to bring his or her book to read. We will also begin to chat about our upcoming test season and review some strategies we can use when we're resonding to literature.
Have a great evening, everyone!
Fondly,
Mrs. V~
