Lesson 11

 

Students read their personal novels.

We talked about the connections between all of the many different pieces we have looked at so far.

Students learned about theme statements and how to write them.

HMWRK:

-Write a theme statement for "Barney"  

-Students received a list of vocabulary terms - ON A SEPARATE SHEET students should write the word, write a definition of the word, and then write a sentence IN THEIR OWN WORDS which shows their understanding of the word. If someone were learning English, this sentence should make the meaning of the word abundantly clear to them.  Students should ensure they have completed the work for by the beginning of next class. 

 

The words are as follows:

·       Thatched

·       Perspiration

·       Absurdly

·       Pelts

·       Exquisite

·       Instinctively

·       Sedative

·       Telepathic

·       Emanations
