Classwork 11/20

Math: Students worked on a Thanksgiving math problems packet. This is extra credit. I STRONGLY recommend they complete it- five points can mean a lot!

LA: Spelling and Skills tests have gone home.
The only homework over break is for students to write their final drafts for their Thanksgiving essays. Two figures of speech must be used. These can be handwritten, or typed for extra credit. They should be about a page hand written or 1/2 a page typed (12 pt. font, single spaced). Please email with questions.

Have a great Thanksgiving break! See you in 10 days!

Thanksgiving senses packet- we will be writing Thanksgiving papers using these figures of speech:
-alliteration
-hyperbole
-onomatopoeia
-personification
-simile
-metaphor
A packet detailing each of these figures has gone home. Students are asked to complete the left-hand column on the back page, using about 5+ details in each box. This does not have to be in complete sentences, we are simply brainstorming for next week. We will work on drafting and editing next week, as well as completing a final draft. These papers have turned out really well in the past, I am looking forward to what this class can come up with!

Have a good weekend,
Mr. Schmidt
