January 20

Daily Blogger

Today is another Monday. It is a day full of yawning, homework, and English Class. I started off the day with history. We got assigned a project about one of the 6 Basic Principles of Government. We get to choose our principle and make a presentation on it. We spent the class learning about all of the principles.

            Next was English class. We started off the period with Hot Tips #8 and DGP. We were taught all the different parts of speech in one sentence. Then we got out our descriptive essay packets and wrote what we were going to write about. Everyone said who or what they are going to talk about. We had to choose between a pet or person. We are talking about descriptive essays because our state writing test is coming up on January 28. We are reading examples and writing our own. We had a mini lesson about our main idea and supporting details. We have to make sure to stick to our topic and not stray. Then came the familiar sound of the bell meaning English was over.

            Tonight there is a basketball game at home. The Eagles are taking on the Warriors. There is also a JV wrestling invite also at home. Go Eagles! Don’t forget to do your first draft for your descriptive essay! Have a good day!
