Reading and English classes are working on research index cards.
Students were given several opportunities before and after our break to
check out a non-fiction book to use as their research source. Students were
given written, illustrated instructions as to how to make a source card and
how to make a fact card. The cards are due on 1/22.
The next two steps in our research project will be completed after the
index cards are graded.
The end products for the English classes and the reading classes are different.
However, students who are in both of my classes need complete only one set
of cards.
Reading: We are studying drama over the next 2 weeks. We will have a test next
Friday, January 17 on Drama and the vocabulary sheets with Word list A and
Word List B and the Big Q song. We will read a play and critique whose subjects
are Charlie Brown as well as other dramas. Students should review
pages 941, 999, 953 and 930 and all handouts in preparation for next week’s test.
English: In English we are studying vocabulary from a sheet given on Monday
and Adjectives and Adverbs. Our Adjective and Adverb quiz will be on Monday
and our Vocabulary test will be on Friday. This week, our vocabulary words are
the same for both classes.
