2016-2017 school year: day 18 review

Peter's Frisbee toss foreshadows bad things to come in Because of Mr. Terupt!

by Mr. Maynard ([email protected])

Today in school, we:

• began working on our personal narratives with a prewriting activity that had us brainstorming the top 5 moments in our lives as potential ideas for our future writing.
  

• continued reading Because of Mr. Terupt, foreshadowing and predicting the future problem in the soccer field and continuing to find text evidence that supports specific main ideas, such as Jessica being a friend whom you could trust.
  
• reviewed the vocabulary section of our 9/11 exam, using our highlighters to find context clues that would aid us in selecting the correct word within our passages.
• watched CNN Student News, learning about a controversial bill that would allow families of 9/11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, a rare Congressional override of a Presidential veto, and the difference between a flash flood and a river flood.

Friday is on the horizon, and we're all ready for a good final day of the week and a rejuvenating weekend!
