Sorry about last week's lack web update. The short week just got away from me.
This week...
LA: We are finishing up our reading focus on biographies. Students will be reading short biographies of various influential people and analyzing them for character traits. We will be looking to see if their environment influenced their character traits or if their character influenced their choices. In addition, we will be writing our biographies this week, based on the interview students did a week ago. A lot of this will be completed during reading stations.
For writing, we will be revising our expository compositions on Recess Rules. Students are learning and applying several techniques and strategies to take this piece through the entire writing process.
SS: We have finished reading and taking notes on Texas Native American Tribes. Students will be immersed in individual projects that challenge them on their own individual levels. Each project, regardless of the student, will begin with research in websites I've specifically chosen for them. In addition, students have a homework assignment that is in SS but is actually reading. Students will go to Google Classroom to access this, and it will be due Friday, 10-21
