09.10 - Vocabulary and Story Typing

In today's class, everyone was typing up the stories they wrote in yesterday's class about their utopia (see yesterday's post for more details).

We talked about how typing the story out from the writer's journal is a good opportunity for revision (fixing any spelling or grammatical errors and adding to or changing elements of the story).

Typed stories were to be shared with me (caleb.collins.lhs@gmail.com) on Google Drive.

If people were not engaged in typing their story, they were completing our first root/prefix sheet for this year. We will be studying roots and prefixes as a way of improving vocabulary and word recognition so that when people come across new words when they read they have some background on how to figure out what the word means from its word parts.

An extra copy of this sheet is available here: Unit 1, Set 1 Roots and Prefixes


Homework:

If you did not do so in class, finish the Unit 1, Set 1 Roots and Prefixes sheet.

If you did not finishing typing and submitting your utopian story on Google Drive, do so for homework.

Continue to read Animal Farm according to the class schedule.
