Agenda
1) Final 55-word story
2) Short Story Anticipation
Homework
None
Today the students copied the final draft of their 55-word story onto an index card. These cards will be put up on display in the classroom, so look for your child's story at Back to School night next week.
We also did our anticipation exercise for the four short stories we will be reading in the upcoming couple of weeks. There are four stories; two are about technology and two are about bullying, so the anticipation guide addresses these two subjects. Here are the agree or disagree statements:
1. Someday computers will be smarter than people.
2. People become bullies because they feel bad about themselves.
3. The ultimate goal of technology is to eliminate all work.
4. It’s fun to have power over other people.
5. The easiest way to feel good is to make someone else feel bad.
6. In the future, machines will destroy the world.
If you're interested, discuss these statements with your child. It's a great way to stay involved.
