Red Wednesday. For some reason, this reminds me of the Red Wedding. Let's be thankful today didn't take that turn, although it would have made for a much more interesting day. Anyway, in English we continued on with our book, reviewing and discussing chapters 5-6. I showed them pictures of some of the weapons referenced and how mines were used. I then gave them time to read their next chapter.
In creative writing, I did a prompt where they looked at a picture then had to ask 20 questions about that picture. They then had to trade with a partner and answer the 20 questions. Then, they had to write a 26 line short story where each of the lines started with the next letter in the alphabet, one line was one word, and one line was a question. Structured writing like this (such as a sonnet) can produce some very interesting results. I look forward to reading them.
