Language Objective: Join small group discussion about a reading passage and corresponding questions.
Essential Question: Are my reading comprehension skills improving?
Class began with a review of analogies. I wanted to remind them of yesterday's activities in which students created their own analogies. We had a quiz which contained both reading comprehension and analogy construction components. Students were asked to create analogies after only being given one out the four words needed; this type of assessment hopes to give students the opportunity to demonstrate higher level thinking more than a more traditional fill-in-the-blank exercise might.Homework: SSR.
