January 24-28

Monday- We did Read Out Loud and Caught Ya. The students also chose the 20 lines of their own poetry that they'd like to recite next Tuesday for our coffeehouse. We learned about personification and wrote a 12 line poem using personification.

Tuesday- They went over the noun quiz (they didn't have the best results), and they were given a retake ticket on nouns to do in order to retake the quiz Friday.

Wednesday- We did Read Out Loud and Caught Ya, and we work on our memorization. We went over Oxymorons and wrote an 8 line poem using oxymorons.

Thursday- We had a work day in the computer lab and we went over the retake ticket.

Friday- We had the noun retake and had the laptops in the classroom for a work day. Weekly Reading Report #3 was due.

Homework- Any late work!

Poetry Anthology is due Tuesday- you need your 10 poems in final draft form, 2 favorite poems, the favorite poems sheet, and the poetry log.

Memorize your 20 lines for Tuesday
