Vocabulary Quiz and Jamestown Dig

BellringerVisit the following link http://goo.gl/f3IlTV.

Write the word and definition provided, then create a sentence using the word.  

Recap: We took our first vocabulary quiz today as a group. Each group was required to provide the definition, a picture to illustrate the word, and a sentence using the word. I wanted to switch the format a bit.

We then completed a virtual dig of Jamestown, so you could see what the early settlements looked like, what resources they had, and what life was like. I find that understanding the source of the literature (where it comes from) is like close reading the text: you need to understand the depth of where it comes from, and the mindset of the writer, in order to understand the text as a whole.

Tomorrow we will begin "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

Have a great night! I hope to meet some of your parents this evening!
