Classroom Update for MrBoZ

Section 1
We took a pop quiz on My Favorite Chaperone today.  The questions were rigorous, requiring the students to choose the BEST answer.  We had some great discussions about the results.  I also dropped one question because it was too difficult.  The grades are in HAC. (I will get the grades for the My Favorite Chaperone questions in the book soon.  Sorry about that.)

Due Friday: Students are required to make a poster for one of the following figurative language terms: metaphor, simile, personification, or hyperbole.  We have been discussing this in class.  They know the requirements.

Students should also have completed this vocabulary for unit 2: pictionaries, Choosing the Right Word, Synonyms and Antonyms, and completed one Quizlet practice.


Sections 2 & 3
We took a pop quiz on My Favorite Chaperone today.  The questions were rigorous, requiring the students to choose the BEST answer.  Tomorrow we will discuss the results.  I also dropped one question because it was too difficult.  The grades are in HAC.

Literary terms quiz Friday.  Study here.

Tomorrow I will be collecting the questions for My Favorite Chaperone.  (The online book is here.  Use student ID for username and pass.) We will be reviewing their practice paragraphs that I have entered in HAC.  Mrs. Jamison will model another example, and students will produce a well structured response.
