oday we continued to practice and refine our reading comprehension skills. We also discussed the use of idioms through the use of the CPS. Students used context clues to select the idiom that would take the place of an indicated phrase. Next, students worked in pairs to decipher the meanings of commonly used idioms. Next, each student selected one to illustrate. Selected students began writing the origin of their idiom; this will be polished and recorded for a podcast to be linked from this site.Homework: SSR; illustrated idioms.
