Reading:
This week, students got their new literature circle book assignments. Many students chose to take their books home over the break. We will have our first discussions on these books when we return in January. Writing: Students peer-reviewed their personal narratives with a partner. The peer review worksheet they used can be found here. They will be working on a final draft of their narrative when we return. I wish everyone a restful break, and I will see you in 2020!

This week was incredibly productive! I was really impressed by how seriously everyone worked on both their literature circle one-pager and personal narrative. Reading Students met in their literature circles to finish their one-pagers on their books. Here are some photos of them finishing up on Friday: Writing
Students spent Tuesday and Thursday writing the first draft of their personal narrative. You can find the rubric for that assignment here. They will be peer reviewing with a partner next week, with the goal of having a final draft ready to publish before break. Questions to ask your child this week:
Reading Students began creating one-pagers for their literature circle books. They are working in groups to show the theme, setting, characters, and one important quote from their books. You can head over to the "Reading Resources" tab for more information on one-pagers. Writing On Tuesday students completed two planning documents for their personal narratives. On Thursday they used all of their planning to begin their rough draft. All of the planning documents and the personal narrative rubric are available under the "Writing Resources" tab. |
