Hello!

P. 1,3,5: Students worked on summary writing today. They fine-tuned their paragraph to fit a prewrite with summary requirements. We discussed how a summary is NOT a retelling of a story - the focus is on who does what following the main ideas. Students color-coded for specific elements: controlling idea, key ideas followed by example, transitions, and the concluding sentence.

H/W: Check your grades in HAC. Let me know if you see a problem.
          P. 3: Bring your Nya and Salva Wordle list tomorrow.

P. 2,6: Students finished watching the A. Selkirk video and recorded main ideas for a summary. After that, they worked on the island maps.

H/W: Island maps due Friday. Make sure you have 25-30 features, key, compass rose, and features are labeled if they are difficult to decipher. No reading tonight if you are caught up through chpt. 11.

Thank you for a great day!
