Essential Question: Are my reading comprehension skills improving?
Today, after we discussed and checked last night's homework, we read a comprehension passage and we answered questions concerning such topics as main idea, summary, conflict, prediction, etc. We then screened finished commercials depicting propaganda techniques. The last class took advantage of computer lab access and worked on finalizing their commercials. The best will continue to show up here; selected ones will also be shown on our weekly news show.
