Hunter and I reviewed new vocabulary. He used each in a sentence. He wrote an alternate ending to "The Book Thief" as part of a culminating activity. He also identified themes. We analyzed his written response from "Short Takes" from yesterday's class. Hunter rewrote a sentence and realized he was much better with sentence structure and spelling when he takes the time to consider it. He referenced the book in order to begin his written alternate ending. He did a great job at writing like the narrator, death! I was impressed.
