Today we did DOL #9 and took the March Madness Elite 8 Bracket Kahoot. Then we wrote our book reports for this term.
Today we did DOL #8 and chose our books for our book clubs. You will need to get a group, the book, and the packet and fill out pages due and your roles for lit circles when you return. We also turned in the Afghan Star writing assignment. Also, a reminder that the book report is due next time.
Today we discussed more commonly confused words rules and did DOL #7. We watched a few Afghan Star clips from the most recent years and then I gave the rest of the class time to work on your Afghan Star Writing Assignment. It is due typed next time. Today we discussed DOL #6 and we discussed particulars for the Festival of Colors. We finished Afghan Star, but didn't turn in the handout because I want to explain the writing assignment to the class. Today we did DOL #5 and voted for the second round of the March Madness Book Bracket. Then we watched the first half of Afghan Star. If you missed it, you'll need to get the character analysis handout and find the documentary on Youtube. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuZDITToIIo
Today we did DOL #4 and read aloud and annotated "A Canary in a Cage," an excerpt from a book about a girl who is living in Afghanistan when the Taliban take over. Make sure that you get the excerpt from me and annotate it.

Today we DOL #2 and had a book check for your Term 4 book. To end class, we watched the documentary "The White Helmets." It is on Netflix.
