We have a lot going on in literacy this week.
We'll continue reading To Kill a Mockingbird. On Tuesday, we will do a close read of Chapter 3 and students will read Chapters 3-6 this week. Students will have time in class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to read. They also have 30 minutes of DEAR time every day to read. While we're reading, we will be studying conflict in literature. On Thursday we will review the types of conflict and on Friday we will work on writing ACE responses using vocabulary from the definitions. For a quick refresher on types of conflict, here is the PowerPoint that students will use on Thursday. Lastly, the students have been working on pivotal moment stories. The first draft of those stories are due on Wednesday, October 12th. Students submit their stories on Google Classroom. Stories should be two pages, double -spaced with a header on each page that includes full name, date, reading block. Students have rubrics and checklists in the writing section of their binders that they can use to self-assess themselves before submitting their work.
