We began class with a warm-up examining different types of writing.
Next, students took out their paragraph homework assignments that were due today. I gave students a list of rules to use when they answer short-answer questions in social studies class. We reviewed the list and practiced writing topic sentences. Students then used the list of rules to revise their homework paragraphs.
Answering social studies questions
We then shifted gears and I passed out a graphic organizer. I counted students off into groups and students visited stations and recorded information onto their organizers. We will finish the stations in class tomorrow.

Homework is to revise your "Guns, Germs, and Steel" overreaching paragraph and submit a final draft tomorrow either typed or written in pen.
