Greetings!
We had a good class this week. We had a few more in our Zoom class, reminding me of what a blessing it is to have Zoom as an option these days!
For our Quick Write we used these 3 prompts:
What would you do if you were locked inside your favorite department store overnight?
What would you do if you woke up one morning to find yourself invisible?
What would you do if you were able to communicate with animals?
omnibenevolence -- Latin, omni, "all," bene, "good," and volo, "to be willing; have the power to do" -- Unlimited kindness and generosity
omnia vincit amor -- Latin -- love conquers all
omniarch -- Latin, omni, "all" and arch, "lead, command" -- the ruler of everything
omnific -- Latin, omni, "all" and facere, "to make, to do," -- capable of doing everything
Students handed in their final drafts of their Biography Essays, so it was time to introduce the next essay, which is a History Essay. We talked at length about the challenge of composing a strong thesis statement for this essay. Many times students write reports with facts and details, but write with a stand or opinion to direct the focus of the paper. Their Pre-Write and Rough Draft are due December 13.
We saved the last 30 minutes for our Grammar presentation on Pronouns. Tate and Becca had good, complete slides and explanations. They had made homework, so this worksheet is required and the one I made is for Extra Credit.
Great job this week! Have a great weekend!
