OM: Use as many of this week's spelling/vocab words to describe a fictional event that happened at a Teen Town.
Benchmark scantrons and booklets were handed back. We went over the answers, concentrating on the more problematic questions. Strategies for working such questions were discussed. Of particular note was the difficulty caused by vocabulary. Students were told to pay close attention to the key words in questions, and use context to determine meaning. Students were also strongly counseled not to change answers unless completely certain a mistake has been made.
HW:
-Study spelling/vocab
-First draft of "Sleepy Hollow" news story due tomorrow.
Look ahead: We'll begin Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" shortly.
