Loyalty As a Virtue and Vice

We continued with our "Ghost Cat" reading today. Tomorrow I am going to give the kids an assignment based on this reading, which will be due on Thursday.

We also started in with our persuasive writing project. To introduce this, we discussed ideas such as chocolate milk being served in schools and the whole half-days taken away by the government a few years back.

Lastly, for Social Studies, I put the kids into groups where they will have to have a Loyalist vs. Patriot debate. This didn't go over well for the "Loyalists" in the class, but it should help them solidify their own opinions if they try to play devil's advocate.

Here's today's homework:
  • Study Link 9.1
  • Definitions due for Spelling tomorrow
  • Read for 20 minutes
