November 29th

Today we learned narrative vocabulary. We took notes about plot, setting, conflict, protagonist, and antagonist. We applied this new learning to our “Good Fit” books during Daily 5 time and then read our Article of the Week. We are continuing to discuss Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning as the year goes on with our articles, even though our argumentative unit is over.  All argumentative essays will be graded by Friday in time to go on their report cards!

End of marking period is this Friday! All missing work needs to be turned in by Thursday so I can have time to grade it!

Homework

  • Read 20 minutes and respond on reading log (4 responses this week, due Friday)
