Grammar Friday!

Thinking About Character

Summary So Far

POV & Lit Circles

Today we reviewed POV and then students had time to read their books.

Literature Circles Begin!

Today groups got their assigned books and started reading. Slides are at PowerSchool.

Friday=Valentine's Day

After practicing a bit more with phrases and clauses, we wrapped our work with "The Streets of Memphis" and did a couple exit tickets. Have a great break!

Short Story Practice

Today we read this short story and practiced the summary, character, and conflict cards (in writer's notebooks).

Lit Circle Books

Today we spent most of the period picking books from among these options. Students then filled out the book choosing form here so that I can make groups in the next few days. Absent students should get this to me ASAP.

Poster Time

Today groups finished their posters and presented them. We'll choose books tomorrow.

More Group Practice!

Grammar Etc.

After doing a review of phrases and clauses (including a Kahoot), students had time to finish their one-pagers from yesterday (some chose to keep working on them for HW). We wrapped up the period with our first weekly reflection exit ticket.

Group Work: The Sneetches

Students used their copy of Dr. Suess's story "The Sneetches" and the cards we've been practicing with to complete the one-pager below.

Theme, Issues, and Connections

Today, we continued our practice for literature circles with two more slides, practicing them one Dr. Suess's story, "The Zax."
