Today in Language Arts the students began working on a theme project. They were given four story choices. They were asked to choose one to read and identify the theme of. This is something they are working on in small groups with other students who chose to read the same story they did. They will be putting this information on Google Slides through Google Classroom and presenting to their classmates on Monday. We will be working on this project each day in class between now and then.
The students also continued to learn about writing by sorting another essay. This time, the essay they were given was missing a paragraph. Not only did the students have to organize the essay, but they had to explain how they knew which paragraph was missing based on the information they were given. Tomorrow we will be writing the introduction paragraph to this essay in class.
Lastly, the students spent time in class learning about adjectives. They were assigned three lessons on IXL to support them with adjectives as we learn about them over the next couple of weeks. The students were also assigned two lessons on theme to support them as they work on their project. All of their IXL will be due NEXT Friday.
Have a great evening!
