For this blog post, I have combined two weeks in one since we had a break during this last full week of November.
The students finished all of their annotations for “Tuesdays of the Other June” and turned in their story. They also participated in a rainbow write activity where each person in the group was responsible for writing one sentence in a constructed response. They had to identify one of the conflicts in “Tuesdays of the Other June” and give two pieces of evidence to support their thinking.
They will be taking a quiz on conflict on Wednesday, December 2nd. We played a Kahoot game to practice this in class and an additional game was posted in Schoology for students to play and practice with.
Before the break, students were given time to work on their One-Pager Number One during class. This should have focused on the good fit book they have been reading for the past five weeks. This is a book they chose to read an notified me of the book they would be doing their project on. This assignment was due Monday, November 30th by the end of the day and I am working as quickly as possible to have grades updated to reflect scores on this. This was a summative grade since it was a lengthy project so students who didn’t take their time or didn’t turn in the assignment need to make sure they get caught up. Otherwise, this will heavily impact their grade.
We have started learning about the specific types of fiction and non-fiction genres and will be spending a majority of our week on this since returning from break.
Have a great evening and I hope everyone was able to get some relaxation time in with our time off!
