VanderWall/Wedick's ELA Class
Week of 8/22-8/26
Last week in Greyhound ELA
We started off by playing a game called Spent (playspent.org) to see if they could make it through the month without running out of money. We also drew for jobs. We'll be working through different activities that have to do with their salary, marital status, and number of kids over the next few weeks.
Learning how to fill out a job application
What are some of the special skills you might want to have to get your dream job?
Students drawing what their "future" has in store
Does your job require a college degree? Trade school? High school diploma?
Progress Reports are going home today.
Some grades may be a little lower than expected. Our open notes grammar quiz over Parts of Speech, Subject and Verb, and Dependent/Independent Clauses defeated some students, but never fear! Students will be allowed to complete test corrections for their missed questions. We are discussing that in class today.
Writer's Notebooks
Writer's Notebook entries are considered an Assessment grade and are each worth 15 points.
