We started off our morning with our usual AR period from 9:00 - 9:30 before moving on to ELA. In ELA we continued to look at the literary works of Edgar Allan Poe by reading the poem, "The Raven". Before we actually got to reading the poem we first looked at three literary devices that are often found in poems: Alliteration, Assonance and Internal Rhyming. Then as we read through the poem, students were tasked with finding and highlighting examples of each device. After our first read through there was a little confusion as to what was actually happening in the poem so we watched The Simpsons version as well, which did an excellent job re-creating the poem.
In Grade 8 Math students finished up their Unit 5 Tests from yesterday. Once the students completed their Math Test they were given a handout reviewing Fractions because our next unit will focus on Multiplying and Dividing Fractions.
After lunch we headed to Christ the King Parish for our Ash Wednesday Mass. I'd like to thank Mr. McCulloch and Ms. Sutherland for doing such a great job putting together such a wonderful Mass!
