 Today we worked on an assignment where we read an article about Christopher Columbus and Thanksgiving. Then we analyzed some of the claims and found the evidence the author used to back them up. I learned how to better locate and analyze claims and evidence, and I will use this knowledge in my own writing to help improve it. I enjoyed this lesson because it was fairly simple and easy to understand, while also helping me learn how to back up claims with evidence. My day today has been good. I did well in swim tryouts yesterday and I think that I will make the team. Today is also my dad's birthday so I'm excited to celebrate him later tonight.

That is why that conversation changed me.  Summary:  In today's class we worked on an assignment over the Lesson 7 vocabulary words. We defined the words, wrote some synonyms and antonyms, as well as filled in sentences using the vocab words.  Reflection: I enjoyed this class because it was fairly simple so I was able to finish quickly. Because I finished early I was able to do make-up work with the remaining time.
