1. Punctuation Activity.
Mr. Christensen read to the students the book Punctuation Takes a Vacation.
Students did a punctuation activity.
Each student wrote (in his or her composition book) about one of the following topics, following these two rules: 1) No talking is allowed. 2) You may not use any punctuation.
Write for three minutes or more.
Topics for punctuation exercise:

If you were absent, go ahead and do this, and find someone to put in punctuation for you. Check to make sure that they punctuated it the way you meant.
2. Words By Heart Movie
Students listened to a summary of the chapters, and then watched the movie to cover up through chapter 11, comparing book and movie in their composition books.
