In Language Arts today the students spent time peer editing their compare and contrast constructed response. The final draft of these responses will be due on Monday. The students should include one similarity, one difference, textual evidence to support each, and they should explain their thinking. The final draft can be hand-written in pen or typed. It needs to be double spaced.
The students were also introduced to our new unit, Folktales. We reviewed the types of folktales as well as the elements of folktales. Lastly, the students were introduced to our new grammar lesson.
Today is the end of the fourth marking period. Grades will be updated and submitted by the end of the day. All book money for The Giver was due at the end of today too. If students did not purchase their own copy and want to, they will be responsible for doing so on their own. We will start reading this book towards the end of April. Students who did purchase a copy of the book will be given their book next week.
Have a fantastic weekend!
