Writer's workshop: literary essaysStudents are working on writing short response-to-reading essays. The texts the kids are writing include an introduction with a claim (based upon a lesson learned, one of the character's traits, character's change over time, etc.), three peices of text evidence, and a strong conclusion. This week, we read two Patricia Pollaco books (The Keeping Quilt and Thank you, Mr. Falker) and students practiced responding with original thoughts supported by the text. After IAR testing, we will begin our last writing unit, Fairytales. Reader's workshop: Book ClubsThis week marked the beginning of our student-led book clubs. Students chose from a selection of books and formed discussion groups of 3 or 4 students. In the book clubs, students decide how many pages they will read each week, then ask each other questions, compare/contrast ideas about the text, make predictions, discuss story elements and characters. At the end of each text, each club will do a written response to reading, answering a text-based question. Multiplication and division strategies |
