In Language Arts today the students finished reading “The School Play” and discussing the story. While we read, they added their thoughts about the text to their notebook. We also worked together to organize the major events onto a pyramid of action in our interactive notebook.
The students were introduced to their first project in Language Arts. This will be a setting project. The students can choose between “The School Play” and “Elevel”. They must find evidence from the text that helps them visualize the setting of the story and draw a picture of it. This picture should fill their entire paper and it should be in color. They must also label the parts of the picture that match their quotes. Additionally, they need to copy their quotes on to the edge of their picture. This is going to be a summative grade on the marking period and is being done independently as opposed to with a partner or group. The students will be given the entire class period tomorrow to do this and the assignment will be due on Friday. If students finish early, they are being given time to work on their Read Theory, Late Work, Moby Max., and One-Pagers One and Two.
Since tomorrow in class is a work day, I will not be posting to the blog tomorrow.
Have a fantastic evening!
