Today we worked on exam review topics that the students began last week.  They will be reviewing vocabulary for each other in class.  Students should have completed their powerpoints and a crossword puzzle on their individual topics already.  They need to create a story on their topics at home.  I also talked about the format of the exam with them.  They will have a scantron section very similar to the tests we've taken all semester.  They will also have a one page written section.  This will include several personal questions which we will be reviewing this week as well as a story on one of two topics: family life or school life.

Homework: Finish exam review story, study for exam

We have started our last chapter, "House and Home."  The students have been working on a mini house in class this week.  They were given time to complete the outside of their houses in class and some used their time very well and also worked on the inside in class.  The inside of the house must be completed by this Monday, May 11th.  The students have the directions, but they should be sure to include 8 different small rooms inside the house with two things drawn inside of each room.  (For example, the living room could have a sofa and a table.)  We will be writing about the houses in class next week. 

Homework: Finish inside of your house
