Students should be working on their definition essays. By Tuesday, students should have at least 2 body paragraphs drafted in their composition notebooks. If they have access to the internet, they should go ahead and type the paragraphs in their Google doc.
The deadline for the essay is this Friday (12/15). We will give the students at least 2 days in the lab to type. Students who have assigned classroom ipads will have access to type in class as well. This counts as a Performance Task grade. Students will take the second Reading Inventory (RI) this Monday and Tuesday. The goal is to see an increase in Lexile scores. Please make sure your student is present and well rested on Monday. Thank you!
Monday: Because some of the students were out attending the College Bound Trip, students used the class time to work in the Zinc Reading Lab in Springboard Online. I have assigned several articles and vocabulary practices. These are ongoing assignments that will be checked periodically. Students are expected to work on these at home and will have class time on certain days.
Tuesday-Wednesday- Springboard Lesson 1.16: We looked at the components of an introductory paragraph and had a mini-lesson on writing thesis statements. The lesson culminated with the students writing their introductory paragraphs, typing them in a google doc and sharing it with me (5th) and/or Ms. Smith (periods 4, 6 and 7). Students who didn't get a chance to start of finish typing their introductory paragraph will need to do so by Monday. They need to use their google steam accounts. Thursday: I was out on this day for professional development. The students were left with assignments from the SCOPE magazine. These can be found in EDMODO. The students who wasted time and didn't complete any work will not be allowed to make these assignments up. Friday: Reading Day |
