Tuesday, November 18th

Students worked on understanding the why people moved to the United States at the turn of the last century.  They looked through the text they read yesterday to find examples of people moving to escape and to find opportunities.  Then they shared their answers with another group and then wrote an opinion paragraph using their notes.  

We continued reading Gathering Blue and students practiced their Literary Cafe poems/stories today.

I wrote the following things on the board today for students to put in their agendas.  I will try to do this early each week so students can get in the habit of managing their time.
