Today’s two hour delay gave me the opportunity to conduct a Google search for images to help students comprehend the new vocabulary words. It was so successful that I plan to replicate it tomorrow with a class in the media center. Today, we continued reading and discussing The Outsiders. Students presented their comic strip homework assignment using the Elmo document projector; although there were too many students in a few classes who failed to complete the assignment, 90% my third class had a product to share. The students laughed, and sometimes groaned, at their use of the new vocabulary words.
Homework: Complete the crossword puzzle for The Outsiders and the Wanted Poster for Ponyboy and Johnny; continue to study and practice new vocabulary.
