Week of September 10th:

This week we will be working on identifying both persuasive writing and informative writing. Students will be working as a whole group as well as individually throughout the week.

Our Essential Element:
Reading (Informational) – EERI.7.4. Determine how words or phrases are used to persuade or inform a text

“I Can” Statement: I can find words or phrases that persuade and inform in a teacher selected passage.

 

Throughout the week we will still be working in daily centers.

Daily Centers will be working on:
Reading: sight word reading, phonemic awareness, sound blending, leveled reading, etc.

Writing: tracing, cut and paste, journal copying, letter writing, name writing, paragraph writing, letter building (with manipulatives)
(center activities depend on each individual student present levels and specific IEP goals)

Speaking: small group discussion, one-on-one discussion, formal and informal discussions, retelling facts/sharing individual work samples aloud, etc.

Listening: small group and/or individual listening activities in which students hear a story, chapter of text, etc. and retell facts and answer questions based on what they have heard
