Day #7 - 9/16/15 - Persuasive Writing Pre-Assessment & Analyzing Theme using Evidence

Good Morning Sixth Graders,
        Today is a ‘B’ Day so we will go to Art. Don’t forget to enter the room quietly and check the whiteboard to make sure you have all your materials. Then sharpen your pencils and order your lunch.
       Meanness can take many forms, but so can kindness. On a piece of scrap paper please write down all words that you associate with Kindness. Your list should be at least 10 words long. Then you may work on the point to ponder.
                                           Thank you
                                           Mr. Trumble
Point to Ponder: Do you know your nouns, verbs and adjectives? 
Practice using your knowledge of Nouns, verbs, and adjectives by completing one of the Madlibs with a neighbor at your table group.
Noun = Person, place or thing
Verb = Action words
Adjectives = Describing Words
