Ugh. I hate white Wednesdays with the fire of a thousand suns. We continued on in SL5, trekking through chapter 5. They are beginning to see the parallels in the book, and next week we are really going to dive into these.
In CW, we continued our transition out of poetry and intro voice and tone. Today, I had the kids write an argument a mother/father would get into with their daughter/son. I gave them 20 minutes to write this. Once they were finished, I flipped it on them and said they then had to write in the voice of the parent (since to a T they all chose the daughter/son). They weren't huge fans at first, but they were able to do this. I purposefully had them use a voice that wasn't their own that they were familiar with so this task would be easier. This is going to get harder for them in the upcoming classes. I hope they are ready.
