Over the past two days, the students have been learning about the mood and tone of a story as well as how to analyze them. We did this by watching a series of example videos and discussing how the mood and tone in the videos change. I have attached the videos to this blog post.
The students also spent time learning about verbs. We have discussed action, linking, and helping verbs as well as key words that are used for these verbs. We will continue to focus on this until we go on break.
Lastly, the students spent time in class creating an interactive word wall for the academic vocabulary words we have been learning. These words will be featured on our next vocabulary test and can be found in the students’ interactive notebooks.
I will not be at school tomorrow because my swim team has qualified for the State Meet in Holland, MI. Therefore, I will not be posting to the blog tomorrow. The students will spend time reading their article of the week with a partner, annotating while they read, and then answering comprehension questions about the article.
Retakes for the Unit One Comprehension test will be Tuesday, November 21st before school at 7:15 or after school at 3:05. They must sign up in advance and have a completed retake form that is signed by a parent/guardian.
Have a great weekend!
