The students read for 10 minutes. They then broke into groups and started to write a poem based on the cards their group received.  They changed groups twice so should have at least three types of poems completed.

The students reviewed the numbers 1-100 and we wrote out colours, days of the week and months of the year.

The students viewed information on Symbolism in writing and took some notes.  Then we read "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost and the students annotated it and we discussed it before they started on questions, which we will correct tomorrow.
