One More!

I could only upload four videos per blog post. So, we saved the best for last. Here is group #5 ...

Similes and Metaphors - English Shorts

We finished editing our figurative language videos in class Thursday. The students did an excellent job explaining similes and metaphors in their videos. We used the design concepts from the Common Craft Show video series for this project. Thank you for the idea!

Please check out the videos and leave a comment about what you think.


Have a great day,

Mr. Ferrell

The Great Polis Debate


Today you will decide which Greek polis you believe was the greatest. You will leave a VoiceThread comment on the page for your polis explaining why your city-state was better than the other. In your comment please discuss at least three reasons!
When you’re finished sit back and listen to what your classmates think!
