- Review clauses and punctuation
- Create an original allegory to share with the class
What we did:
- Students completed a review exercise in their writer's notebooks where they had to create sentences about a picture according to specific instructions using clauses and appropriate punctuation.
- Students received instructions about a group project that we will be working on for the next two days. Students divided up into groups and began working on creating their own allegories based on a topic of their choice. They were required to first decide how they were going to symbolically represent their topics. Once they had planned their stories out, they worked to create a storyboard, complete with drawings and captions, showing their allegories. We did not have sufficient time to finish, so we will continue working next time and present at the end of class.
- No homework aside from outside reading.
