Week of March 9th
Self Reflection:
Students will continue our strategy each week to self evaluate their performance by writing three things they did well and three things they need to improve.
I Have A Dream Speech
Students have read multiple texts on Dr. King, Jr. I Have A Dream. Students also have analyzed figurative writing styles and the power of words.
Students will create their own introductory phrase and their wish for our community and create a wall hanging art project outside of our classroom.
After the break, students will also be reading multiple texts on an historic chapter of the Civil Rights Movement...Bloody Sunday and the March on Selma in the next few weeks.
Written Expression and Process
Students will also be assessed this week on the 3rd MNPS Benchmark Practice test over Persuasive/Opinion Essay writing. We will begin on Wed. Students will complete a reading of texts and a pre-writing phase, a writing phase, and a reflection activity.
Grammar and Conventions
Students will also be tested on subject and verb agreement on NO RED INK...quiz date to be determined this week.
