March 6

CE:
  • We worked on a journal entry: Which commandment do I find most challenging to follow; why is it challenging; what are the sacrifices in Lent I can make to help me follow that commandment?
  • We then got into groups, mostly according to the commandment we wrote about:
  1. Mackenzie, Jade, Paolo
  2. David, Jeffrey
  3. Eduardo, Miguel
  4. Kailin, Isabella, Marcus, Christina
  5. Caitlin, Nella
  6. Austin, Alex
  7. Cassandra, Jessica
  8. Brittney, Stephanie de J
  9. Danielle, April John
  10. Renee, Stephanie de A, Marra
  • In our groups, we'll be making posters of our commandments. We will include the commandment, its application to modern teenagers, and images/drawings to help illustrate this. You will be given class time to complete this activity.
  • No homework for today.
EN:
  • We discussed last day's Family Ties activity.
  • We did silent reading.
  • We returned to our Most Memorable Moment paragraphs and gave peer feedback using the following criteria:
  1. Does the paragraph follow the given format (TS, CD, CM, CM, CD, CM, CM, CS)?
  2. Is the paragraph engaging?
  3. Is there enough detail?
  4. How are the mechanics (capitalization, punctuation, spelling, grammar)?
  5. Does the concluding sentence end the paragraph successfully, or is it flat/inconclusive/confusing?
  • We worked on a new draft due Thursday.  Please attach the first draft to the second.
