Students will be tested this week on Monday and Tuesday with the MNPS ELA Benchmark test. The test will be timed and no extended time will be provided.
This will require students' full attention in reading a passage, making notes, answering 4 multiple choice questions, and writing to a specific prompt instruction. Students will have two class periods over two days to complete.
Reading Literature Text
Students will end the week with our focus on reading and analyzing literature from our scope and sequence materials. Pam Munoz ILF Unit excerpts: The Party; Los Higos; A Paddling of Ducks.
Students will analyze the essential questions of "Why do people make certain choices? What can we learn about individuals and groups based on the choices they make? How do influences in your life change your perspective?" Lesson objectives are: comparing and contrasting characters, determining Author's Purpose, identifying key details and evidence, and quoting accurately from a text.
Written Expression and Process
Students will be assessed for their understanding of the objectives by writing explanations of various concepts and completing a TN READY formatted quiz. INFORMATIVE AND NARRATIVE WRITING.
Grammar and Conventions
Students will focus on the writer's style by studying Grammar and COMMONLY CONFUSED WORDS.
Homework
EDMODO each Monday through Thursday. EDMODO will be the place to find out what is assigned that particular day. We now have a new on line program, NO RED INK...for practicing Grammar and Vocabulary.
