Today in Language Arts the students participated in an activity where they determined the genre of short stories. They were also given the directions to One-Pager Number Four which asks about the genre of the good fit book as part of the CER response.
We also started learning about the mood and tone of a story. We did this by looking at well-known movies that have been given a horror twist. We discussed how a change in sound, word choice, and image can completely change the feeling given by an author to a reader while viewing and reading. I have attached the links to the clips for those who would like to watch at home.
Lastly, the students were given time to select their Scholastic Book for the month of December.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
