Everyday Editing: What do you notice about this sentence?
Create a compound sentence of your own! It’s Friday night, and Mom is yelling at
me because I won’t eat the chicken she cooked for dinner.
*I also handed back writer's notebooks, and I handed out a rubric to each student with a grade on it for the writer's notebook work! I reviewed with students how important it is to keep the notebook organized and updated. If a student is absent, it's the student's responsibility to look at my blog or ask the person sitting next to him/her on what was missed when absent.
SSR (Keep reading at home!!!)
Quick Write: Today we switched over to our reader's notebook and students wrote in the second tab called "Response Entries." (The first tab of the reader's notebook is meant for students to keep track of the books they read. This tab has graphs and reading list chart.) Students wrote on the following topic: Describe your main character. Give name,
book, personality, looks, and conflict. Students could choose from any book they've read so far this year to answer this question.
Lesson: Today we started our unit on Literary Reading. To kick off the unit, I gave the students a graphic organizer to keep track of the elements of a short story, as well as other key terms that will be used in discussion of the literature that we will be reading. I gave the students notes and definitions that were filled into the graphic organizer. Tomorrow I plan to hand out to each student a literature book and read a short story called, "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh." There will be questions for homework with this story.
