Tuesday, October 29th

The morning class had Music, PE, Library time, and Spanish today so with the remaining time we did our second inquiry for this term.  Students analyzed various photographs and made inferences about what type of migration was taking place.  With the morning class, we looked at several Irish Potato Famine paintings and in the afternoon class, they thoughtfully analyzed a picture of people getting onto a cargo train.  After we discussed one picture together, each student group analyzed two pictures and wrote their inferences on an index card.  

In the afternoon class we reviewed various genres and we discussed the features of narrative writing.  Students will begin the first stage of writing personal memoirs this Friday.  The morning class will take the notes and have the discussion tomorrow.
