This week we will be continuing to look at author’s craft ( point of view, purpose, character traits) The short story ” Eleven” will be used to to examine the author’s craft. A quiz on the story and author’s craft will be on Friday.
In writing we will be working on the elements of a personal narrative.
Language Arts Progress reports for all students were sent home yesterday. Please take a look at how your child is doing They should be returned, signed, by Wednesday and are worth 1 bonus point (extra credit). Please note that if Bonus Challenge or Extra Credit Summer Reading are showing as missing that is because they didn’t do the assignments ( and they can’t now). It doesn’t hurt their grade since it is factored in as worth 0 points. Students who did then earn bonus points that can only help their grade. You should have also received your passwords and user id’s for Mi-Star this week as well.
Finally this week’s homework is the reading and writing challenge (see below 2 pages) and is due Monday. Students are required to read for 20 minutes a night (4 nights) for this class as well as write 20-40 minutes ( 1-2 nights). This work should be in their homework notebook (spiral). Please make sure your child has it in their spiral notebook and are working on it every night.
