We began with an activity on types of sentences (compound, complex, compound-complex).
After that, students worked on a Peardeck activity where they answered questions about some of the concepts we will be facing in our upcoming reading. We will be reading “Young Goodman Brown” followed by The Crucible.
We started with an activator focusing on thesis statements, then discussed the exam format. We wrapped up with some Kahoot games on the use of the colon to introduce that unit.
We focused on reviewing MLA format for our exam. We played some Quizizz games that were very helpful. We also reviewed the exam format (posted on Google Classroom).
Students began with an open response question about their novel. They then submitted their thesis statements to Socrative for a student vote as to which was most effective. We finished with a Kahoot game on semicolon usage.
