Happy Friday! Today we learned about the pyramid of action (exposition, rising actions, climax, falling actions, resolution) and applied that to “Little Red Riding Hood” and then our “good fit” books during Daily 5 time. We wrote our Article of the Week C.E.R. responses with our opinions. The article can be found here (https://newsela.com/articles/moana-disney-diversity/id/21081/ ) and due to the fact that many did not finish this assignment because they were working so hard on it, I am posting the Essential Question and sentence starters below so they can finish over the weekend.

All missing assignments should now be turned in. Today was their last chance to turn in anything that’s been missing during the marking period. Grades will be updated by Sunday night.
