Tonight is APTT!! 5:30 to 6:30. I’m looking forward to seeing all who can attend.
We took a look at our character introductions from yesterday and found that many students had not followed the directions correctly. Many students simply launched into a story about their character. Tonight they should ensure that their writing actually introduces their character. We looked again at our examples, and came up with this formula for our writing tonight:
1st paragraph: What our character looks like
2nd paragraph: Our character’s background or something significant about them
3rd paragraph: Something that is unique or special about your character
Tonight students should ensure that their character introduction is actually an introduction of their character. If not, they should re-write it.
In science we *started* talking about food and digestion, and somehow ended up talking about supernovae. I seriously have NO idea how that happened, but at least it was fun!
We read a short passage about how food is turned into energy, and how plants differ in that they create their own food. Tonight students have some questions to answer. As always, I would like to see reasoning!
We also harvested some radishes!!!
We then cut one of our radishes up and shared it. Some students had never had a raw radish before and were surprised by how spicy hot it was. Tomorrow I’m going to fry up the other one and we can see how it tastes after that!
Before you knew it, it was actually time for us to just clean up and get ready to go, so students are getting off lite again tonight!
tl;dr
Re-write your character introduction if it does not include these things:
1st paragraph: What our character looks like
2nd paragraph: Our character’s background or something significant about them
3rd paragraph: Something that is unique or special about your character
Read this passage and answer some questions with reasoning!
and as always, read read read!
And come out to APTT!
See you tonight,
-Mr. Potter
