English 10 (C & D)
Today we started off with a mini-lesson on apostrophes. Students completed a practice sheet on this. Next we looked at some prose terms and wrote some notes. Finally, we discussed our next assignment: an original short story. Students were reminded:
- a short story needs a conflict
- there should be a resolution to the conflict
- to start off your story with a hook
- action
- dialogue
- internal dialogue
- create interesting characters
- include a title that might engage the reader
- utilize literary devices to show-case your skills
- choose descriptive verbs/language
Humanities 8
Today we started with silent reading. For the remainder of the block we continued to work on our castle project. A few people shared their stories at the end of the block.
