10.22 - Lord of the Flies

We started today's class with the following writing prompt:

How would the airplane activity have been different if Mr. Collins had not been in the room after releasing the airplane? What would this show about our class?

After everyone responded to this prompt, we discussed students' responses.

Next, we started working with the set 3 roots and prefixes. Everyone had twenty minutes to begin work with these roots and prefixes.

Roots/Prefixes Set 3 - Word List
Roots/Prefixes Set 3 - Practice Sheet

Everyone also got a copy of The Lord of the Flies which we signed out. We then read the first three pages together and everyone responded to the following questions in their writing journal:

What information/facts can we pull out from these pages about what has happened in the book and what is going on now?

What questions does the information we have bring up?

Homework:

Finish responding to the questions from today's class regarding facts/questions.

Complete/revise assignments as necessary.
