Today students are doing a pretest of their writing skills on MyAccess. If a student is absent today, he or she should arrange to stay after school to complete the test.

We are also reading more of The Outsiders and discussing the meaning of CONFLICT in a story, and learning about various types of conflict.
Students who have not finished their homophone mini-posters should complete those today while we play a game about CONFLICT.
Try these sites for more information about conflict:

We talk about five types of conflict:
Man vs. Man
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. the Unknown (supernatural, diety, fate)
Man vs. Society
Man vs. Himself

And here is another teacher's information about conflict.
