Just getting to know you this week and laying some foundation work for Power Writing.......
Make a list of 25 things you want me to know about you.
In class, we shared our lists with another person and then charted similarities and differences on a Venn Diagram. We then introduced our new friend to the class.
We made a name plate to put on our desks so Mrs. Thomas will learn our names more easily. It should include 5 or more pictures of items that help others make a connection with you. See the one on Mrs. Thomas' podium for an example.
We also talked about Mrs. Thomas' expectations in class.
Complete the "List Yourself" exercise. List 10 items for each category. We'll use these topics for writing assignments in the coming weeks.
Mrs. Thomas also went over the English 3 syllabus.
Make sure you pick up the vocabulary list for SAT bingo!!! We will play every Friday in the 50 minute classes and once a week in the block classes. Personalize your list so you can easily locate the words. Earn lots of candy!!!!!
