Tonight's homework:
LA: Write a scary story
Math: None
Read your novel for 20 minutes or more
Hello all,
Today we had a massive book sorting event! Most of our books are now organized into bins with labels for fantasy, science fiction, realistic fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction, graphic novels, picture books and more.
Tomorrow we will work out our sign out system:-)
In the afternoon, we also did some more reading. We read chapter 11 of the BFG and talked about the story elements brought forward. Story elements are plot, theme, character and setting. This chapter brought out plot elements and the theme of "eating people is wrong" or maybe killing each other is wrong? Maybe pigs even think eating pigs is wrong? At least that is the question posed by the BFG.
We began looking at a fascinating biography video from the BBC on Roald Dahl. It is based on his own autobiographies in Boy and Flying Solo. It is very interesting to make the connections between his life and his stories. Maybe Ms. Lamb should be much meaner so students will have more to write about. (Just trying to be helpful.)
Tomorrow is the last day for this week. No classes for students on Friday.
