April 29

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.
