OM: What is power logic? (review)
We went over last nights homework, identifying proofs for the passage questions, then selecting answers. Reasoning between question, proof and answer was demonstrated for each question.
Review:
Students were strongly encouraged to stick to a procedure for attacking passages and multiple choice questions:
1) read the directions
2) examine extra information (maps, charts, pictures and captions)
3) Read each paragraph
* underline topic sentence (Is this what the whole paragrpah is about?)
* write a short chapter title (3-5 words with a verb)
4)Read questions (idenitfy key words).
5)Find proofs, highlight and number
6)Select answer. Check reasoning between question, proof and answer.
Next passage distributed for independent completion.
HW:
Study for spelling/vocab test.
Finish passage begun in class.
Notes:
1)Students were informed I will be at a conference elsewhere in the building tomorrow. The substitute will administer the spelling test, collect the homework and distribute another passage to be completed. One of the passages done will be graded.
2)There will be no spelling next week due to a rather involved assignment to be given on Monday which will parallel "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", which we will be reading in class next week. (You will find the text of the story HERE, although the version read in class will be shorter than the original text.)
3) The second benchmark exam will be given on Wednesday, 10/18.
4) Open house wil be Thursday evening, 10/19.
