Celebrities of the Day!!!

Today students were given the opportunity to better understand the parts of a story. The parts of a story included setting, characters, and conflict. They took notes of each on a loose leaf sheet of paper to refer back to for studying purposes.

Students also developed a foldable to help them remember the stages of a plot. The stages include the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. They were presented with a powerpoint slide of each stage. They drew the pyramid of action on the back of this foldable to help them remember the stages of a plot in a story.

Before leaving, the students began reading Langston Hughes “Thank you, Ma’am” in order to apply their understanding of the different stages of a plot.

Classes were cut shorter today due to Meap testing. They will continue the story and plot chart tomorrow.

Meap testing will continue tomorrow for Social Studies and Science

Homework:

Read for 20 mintues 🙂

Rest and be prepared for the Meap!
