English 8
Students will complete a paragraph bellringer this week. All 8th grade classes will have a normal class period this week, so students will complete one each day as usual. On Monday, students will complete a short subject-verb agreement exercise taken from the article "Pierre the Penguin Dons a Wetsuit to Keep Warm" which can be read at this link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1016977/Pierre-penguin-dons-wetsuit-warm.html
On Tuesday, students will begin the narrative writing unit with a brief "story starter" activity. Students will have the opportunity to write a short creative story based on a card given to them by the teacher. Students will also have the opportunity to share their stories.
On Wednesday, students will identify the parts of a story. We will focus on the necessity of conflict to create an entertaining story. Students' creative stories from Tuesday will be used as examples and revised.
On Thursday, students will continue revising their creative short stories.
Homework
None
