Day 21

NINTH LIT

• Students completed a journal on stories from their childhood.
• We then introduced our new writing project!! Students will be writing a one-page typed story of their choosing.  There are a few requirements:
• It must have a suspenseful or twist ending
• It must be school appropriate
• It must have 10 words from our vocab lists
• We spent the rest of class prewriting for our stories.

AMERICAN LIT

• Students did their first DGP activity, finding the parts of speech in the sentence "Your friend from Switzerland is a good student."
• We then took notes on annotation and used these notes to begin annotating Thomas Paine's "The Crisis 1"
