Questions to ask your child this week:
Reading We started our fantasy unit this week. Students learned what makes a book fantasy, and we talked about the different subgenres within fantasy, and why it is such a popular genre with young people. I began reading Flora & Ulysses out loud, and students chose their own fantasy book to read. Writing We began a new unit focused on journalism and expository writing this week. Students learned about the different types of journalism, and how a news article is structured. They looked at an example on NEWSELA, a news site for young people. Later in the unit students will create their own newspaper for Summers-Knoll.
