Bellwork: We did 15 minutes of silent reading and then completed metacognition reading log entry #11 – metacognition logs will be collected and graded next week (1-10).

Reading: As a class, we went over MobyMax homework expectations and an IXL extra credit opportunity. Extra credit is detailed after the homework listed below. We discussed the story we read yesterday, “All Summer in a Day”, with a partner and had a whole group discussion about it. If you missed reading the story, you can read it here: http://www.newbremenschools.org/Downloads/All%20Summer%20in%20a%20Day.pdf

Writing: We began a Rainbow Write where we got to choose one of 4 CER options (genre, conflict, mood/tone, or story device; support with 2 pieces of textual evidence) and worked with our groups to complete our posters. We will finish these and present tomorrow.

Today we reviewed our nouns practice and discussed the correct answers. We received One-Pager #4 which is also due January 10th. Don’t wait until the last minute to do these!!!

We then spent the rest of class using a Frayer model graphic organizer to investigate a chosen vocabulary word within our new story, “All Summer in a Day”. We did this with a partner and will present them in class tomorrow.

Homework

• Read Theory (5 passed every week starting November 2nd – 30 by Sunday)
• Read your “good fit” book for 20 minutes (you need to do this for your One-Pagers!)
• One-Pager #3 and #4 due January 10th
• Newsela Article of the Week – “College Athletes” – due December 20th

After silent reading time, we worked in reading and writing stations. Most Fridays we will be doing this. Students were required to go to my station to work on concrete, abstract, proper, plural, and possessive noun practice. This is homework due Monday if not completed. Students also were required to visit the Newsela station to begin their next Article of the Week which is a Pro/Con article about college athletes getting paid to play or not. Students were able to make a third station choice of their own to work on their One-Pagers, Read Theory, or IXL. Students will get credit for participating in the stations based on their focus/behavior (i.e. I didn’t have to move them from a station for being disruptive) as well as whether or not they signed in at 3 stations (2 of the required stations at minimum because they could have visited Newsela twice if they wanted).

Homework

• Noun Practice due Monday (if you didn’t already finish it – glue it on page 53 in your Reading ISN when finished and we will review answers on Monday)

Today we took notes on possessive nouns. We will practice with all types of nouns tomorrow!

We reviewed genres of fiction and nonfiction and played a game to help us review. We then learned about literary devices and took notes on them with examples to help us better understand. Mood and Tone was reviewed again at the end of class with more practice.
