Language Arts: We worked HARD on co-constructing the 1st body paragraph in our class literary essay. Note the topic sentence and that it ties directly to the thesis statement and that it is underlined. We used summarizing to show our evidence of her being fiercely protective of her brother (TOP poster) and used key details (bottom poster)- (you may look back on an older blog post to see examples of story-telling).  Homework- Write your first body paragraph (underlining the topic sentence) using your HOME short story.You should use the same word choice you have in your thesis- it all ties back to our thesis statement.  

Reading: Duffield hour 2- Read a nonfiction text and identified main ideas and facts/opinions as well as summarized article.
