First and sixth periods worked on Schaffer model paragraphs with persuasive topics.
Second and sixth periods worked on a quick overview of business letter formatting. We also went over the propaganda project. Students will begin a new unit Monday; the project due dates are on the calendar.
Seventh period looked at conflict — external and internal — in stories we’ve read, doing pair work to end the period.
Homework
- First period: complete the commentary for the Schaffer paragraph.
- Second and fourth periods:

- Sixth period: work on additional research as necessary.
- Seventh period: complete conflict chart for “Letters from Rifka.”
Mine kept erasing my answers after I clicked the file and back. It did it yesterday so I tried again today and it’s still doing it.
If you have to click the “File” link, it means it’s not embedding properly. Try this: right-click the “File” link and choose “Open in new window.”
My propaganda quiz still didn’t work, so do I get points taken off?
You’ll have to do it here, at school.
