In Language Arts today the students worked on their setting project. They were asked to choose one of the stories we have read, “Eleven” or “The School Play”, and find four pieces of textual evidence that help them visualize the setting of the story. After they found four pieces of evidence, they were asked to show it to me. Once I checked that they had four, they were allowed to start working on the drawing. I have attached the assignment to this blog post.
I will be giving the students 20 minutes after they finish their Parts of Speech Quiz tomorrow to work on the assignment. The students were told if they needed more than 2o minutes, they would need to work on the assignment tonight for homework. Any student who did not finish finding the textual evidence will need a copy of the story. I am unable to post a copy to the blog but I have added copies of each story to Google Classroom. If the students prefer to check out a literature book instead of using Google Classroom, they were told they could check one out after Block 3 or at the end of the day.
Have a great evening!
