Today we did a pretest for verbs to see what the kids know. We then did a verb variation exercise where the kids had to come up with different versions of the word "said" and then I would say a sentence using their words... It was very effective:) Next we talked about thesis statements and what one is and what it looks like. We also looked at a sample introduction and how it is exactly as I've been teaching them. The students are to read chapter 19 in Huck Finn and finish their chapter questions. We also have had a palindrome contest going on for two weeks and the longest palindrome that is original wins a prize on Friday.
