September 19, 2011

READING: today I'm checking to make sure you met or exceeded your reading goal, and got your guardian to sign.  This is a homework grade EVERY Monday, so get in the habit.  This week we'll talk about characterization, and read a fun story called "Charles".  We'll discuss some challenging vocabulary and do some comprehension questions.

ENGLISH: vocab quiz today, then we'll be talking about onomatopoeia.  Tomorrow we'll discuss alliteration, assonance, and consonance.  All of those are techniques used in poetry.  Be prepared for a poetry techniques quiz sometime next week.  This week you will be putting those terms to use when you start writing your own free verse poem.
