A Busy Short Week!

Students have been busy revising a written quiz on The Giver which they took last week.  By doing this they are engaging the writing process and learning how to strengthen their academic writing.  Mini-lessons included topic sentences, how to join two complete sentences (not with a comma!), and pronoun use.  Students are also being encouraged to use their books to find as much text evidence as possible to support their answers.

On Thursday, students will review selected vocabulary words for chapters 11-15.  Those who need to finish up quiz revisions will do so.  The next chunk of reading is chapters 14 & 15.

Homework:

Thursday:  finish quiz revisions if needed and resubmit to Classroom.
                      Read ch. 14 & 15 w/ sticky notes (and chart if I gave you one).
                      All of the above should be completed BY MONDAY.
