Hello,
Today we got some feedback on our previous stories using the checklist.
Ms. Lamb wrote a story before our very eyes....sort of using a story arc with events of the small moment (Charylene threw up a box of crayons in first grade) with bit by bit story on the outside and inner thinking on the inside. Then she wrote the story and we all looked at the rubric to see where she fell.
Students may have access to all of these tools and any others when they write their final small moment, true (truish) story - hopefully where they learned something (don't eat crayons). They will have two class periods to show everything they know about story writing.
Today we read two of the final four chapters of the BFG. We finish this week for global read aloud. Students will be expected to summarize the Roald Dahl book that they read on their own using somebody, wanted, but, so, then. We will also write some compared themes for BFG, the documentary on Roald Dahl and the chosen book read by the student. These will be assessments for the report card.
We will get back to our beloved Schlunkland projects on Wednesday.
Homework tonight:
Math: Skill sheet new for this week
LA: Plan your story for tomorrow. Use an arc.
Read your novel for 20 minutes
