After we corrected our daily grammar, I gave students a resource that has lists of various transition words and phrases. Then students continued working on their informational papers. A parent from each homeroom came in to help with paper reviews and students worked on finishing their rough drafts. Students who had already finished their rough drafts conducted peer reviews and worked on making revisions.
After we worked on their informational papers, we read Gathering Blue.
Homework: Students should continue working on their informational papers if they have not completed their rough drafts yet. In order to meet the Friday due date, students should have their rough drafts completed by Tuesday. If they are done with the drafts by Tuesday, they can do their peer review and revisions in class on Wednesday and then write their final draft in class on Thursday.
Students should also study for the Reconstruction test. The quizlet is available and I'll be passing out a study guide tomorrow.
