Students worked through their themes in groups, and then we critiqued the statements as a class.
The block that did not have an earthquake drill also had the opportunity to discuss characterization (direct/indirect - as per our conversation last class) and to pull quotations that reflected one of the two possible forms.
Groups of students received 3 vocabulary words, and set about writing a definition, and using the word in a sentence to illustrate its meaning.
Next class, we will begin a new story.
