COMPUTERS 8

The students did some research on various camera framing, camera movement, and camera composition.  They needed to find a short explanation and a picture example for each term.

ELA 9A

The students silent read for 10 minutes.  Then we finished correcting chapter 1 & 2 questions for "The Outsiders."  This included character webs made by the class for each of the main characters as found below:

Students then wrote a good paragraph about a character they chose.  Paragraphs will be typed out and edited on Google Classroom.

FRENCH 7A

Three students were in the Chaise Chaud.  Then we went through the various adjectives that can be used with etre.  Example:  Je suis heureuse. (I am happy.)  We also reviewed the verb ETRE for our quiz on Wednesday, November 15th.

ELA 9B

The students completed the same chart as ELA 9A (found above).  In addition, because they had a double class, they had time to type out their SLC paragraphs in Google Classroom and to start (and in some cases) finish typing out their Character Paragraphs.
