IN CLASS:
*Today all classes had a substitute teacher.

Hours 2, 4, 8--Today students did a Find Someone Who activity looking at nonfiction terms and definitions for our upcoming nonfiction unit. Then they read an article looking at advertising in schools. There were some tasks to do during the reading as well as a paragraph to write at the end using direct quotations from the text. If you were not here, you need to get an article and instructions from me. The work is due tomorrow.

Hours 3, 5--Today students read two articles looking at cell phone usage. After reading the two articles, students should answer the following questions;
  1. What do the articles have in common?
  2. How are the articles different?
  3. What is the main idea of each article?
  4. Describe a time when someone broke a cell phone etiquette rule and it drove you crazy.
  5. Does cell phone radiation concern you? Why or why not? Use at least 2 DQs from either article to support your response.
ASSIGNMENT:

  • Book Talks and Book Pages should be ready to turn in tomorrow
