Wed. Dec. 14th.
Writing- Just a reminder- portfolios (went home last Wed.) are due with a signature by
Tuesday- students should share their historical research report and complete the self-evaluation checklist
.
We are beginning an exciting and challenging unit on memoirs! A memoir is a hybrid kind of writing, including elements of both personal narrative and personal essay. We are raising the level of our craft by adding in more reflection, opinions, and thoughts. We will then be supporting our thoughts with evidence in the form of personal stories!
Reading- We are continuing to study social issues within our book club books. Students should be reading their assigned book club book in school and at home. When they reach their stopping point, they can continue reading their choice books. I am SO impressed by the amount of reading, deep thinking and conversing that is happening in our classroom!
Social Studies- We are wrapping up our lesson on Roanoke and Jamestown. Students are being asked to explain their theory for what happened to the Roanoke colonists and backing up their theory with evidence.
