HOMEWORK
Writing - Much like yesterday, students are writing simple 5 to 8 sentence introductions to a personal narrative style story. Fictional or non-fiction are both fine. However, today students were asked to write two different introductions for the same story. They could write them from different perspectives, with different styles, different hooks, or trying to evoke different feelings.
The point is not necessarily to make great literature, but to experiment with different ways to introduce a story.
Students have a tendency to think their first draft of a story is the way the story has to be. This is an exercise in re-thinking. Trying things out from a new angle :)
Math - Lesson 7 Written Practice: Evens
Vocabulary - Study for the vocabulary test this Friday. This is the one unit where there will be no spelling test (we've enough memory work already between Bible and Latin).
