Monday 1/10/11

IN CLASS:
Today we went over root words in all classes:
  • Bios=life (as in biology, biosphere, bionic)
  • Vivo/Victum=live (as in vivid, vida, vivacious)
  • Megas=big (as in megamall, megalopolis, megalomania)
  • Mikros=small (as in microchip, microwave, micro braids)

Hours 2, 4, 8--Today we took some additional notes on nonfiction including fact and opinion. Class ended with some practice using the clicker response systems to practice differentiating between fact and opinion.

Hours 3, 5--We began working on grammar again today. Starting with what we know about complete sentences, we then merged into the idea of phrases and clauses. We took a few notes that will help to prepare students for tomorrow's work.

ASSIGNMENT:
