Hello!

Thank you for giving our guest teacher a wonderful day! Today students wrote their next narrative, and they will be applying some new skills to this piece. After that, they will share published piece, pass it in, and then they will be graded on a piece of writing done in one sitting in class. This is the graded piece so students can be assessed on what they can do on their own. They have had plenty of practice!

Tomorrow, students will be given time to dive into their novels. Remember...in my room, we always read with a pencil in hand! I will be asking you to track a specific character in your novel and underline in your book when you notice information about a character, and in the margin write what this shows the reader about the character. Do this whenever you read for now.  You will get a suggested reading schedule tomorrow.

To view the reading schedule, look under "links" on the right side of the blog page. I will also give you a paper copy tomorrow.

H/W: Look over your narrative from today. Spend 10 minutes revising or editing it. Read your novel for about 20 minutes. For the weekend, you will still need to follow the reading schedule.


Have a great evening!
