Day 3

NINTH LIT

• Students took note on the rudimentary parts of speech
• Any lit terms notes from the previous day were finished.
• We then read and annotated the story "Checkouts" by Cynthia Rylant

AMERICAN LIT

•  Students wrote a quick journal, discussing alternative ideas for the summer reading test.
• As a special gift, the summer reading test was pushed back
• We then went over our "Earth on Turtle's Back" worksheets, which have been put into the gradebook
• Students began an assignment on turning the myth "Earth on Turtle's Back" into an eight-panel comic strip complete with narration and pictographs.
