Social Studies
Students took notes on the 6 elements of a quality map today: map title, compass rose, legend/key/symbols, grid, scale, neat line/border. We will be working with different elements each day this week. By next week, students will be accurately combining all of the elements into a map that they create.
Language Arts
The Outsiders...some students were so intrigued by the first chapter on Friday that they read the rest of the book over the long weekend! I love the enthusiasm. As a class, however, we read chapter two today and will aim to be through chapter five by the end of the week. Instead of a skills review this week, students have a fairly extensive vocabulary crossword puzzle based on words from the novel. Finished crossword puzzles are due next Monday.
