What we did today

·        Today, we worked on a worksheet about different kinds of medieval stories and we had to read seven stories to see which one we liked the best so that we can read it over winter break.

Why we did this

·        We worked on this story worksheet because Ms. Lees needed to know what our reading level is. We did this because we need to read a book over the winter break.

Connections

·        This would be useful for finding reading levels for the future. We would probably need to write this kind of thing in maybe other classes or in future humanities classes to see about our reading level.

Homework

·        We didn’t have anything for homework except posting on Blogger.

Today on Monday we watched the last fifteen minutes of "The First Knight" and for the rest of the class we practiced our group discussions, writing individual answers in groups of five or six. Each group received one or two quotes and a question in which first they had to answer in writing on there own and then one person would write while the rest of the group discussed and answered the question.




homework: There was no homework except for blogs.

On Friday, we did the Canspell Spelling Bee... that's it.

We did this for some people to get an opportunity to advance to the finals, gain experience, etc. if they wanted. And for everyone to get some knowledge of how a spelling bee works, and give them a chance to learn some new words. Also, it'll help some of the competitive people who find spelling boring to make it fun.

Homework... None except blog posts

So guys, remember, pancake breakfast at school next Friday!

Congratulations to the finalists of our class!
