We started today's class with the set 12 roots and prefixes quiz.
Following the quiz, I formally introduced the focus of the future exploration project and we reviewed questions that this exploration will seek to answer about an activity that each student selects (see handout below). For homework this weekend, each person should select an activity and respond to the questions on the future exploration pre-writing assignment to begin thinking about.
We then began looking at a reading which explores the various skills and activities involved in an activity; in this case, volcanology. Everyone responded to the pre-reading questions associated with this reading which we then took time to discuss. From there, everyone had time to read the article and respond to the reading questions. The post-reading questions should be answered for homework.
