7th: Today we began class by reading a case study, "Ancient Egyptian Government" and we answered questions and then discussed this case study together. Then, we began to think about character traits of people we knew, characters in The Giver and in other books. We completed this quotes/character traits sheet about Jonas and then worked on a paragraph (topic sentence, set-up, quote, explanation) describing a character trait of Jonas, supported by a quote from the text.
Homework: Come to class tomorrow having read chapters 16-19 of the Giver and having completed an active reading activity for each chapter. Also, complete your Jonas quote paragraph.
6th: Today we took a reading strategies assessment using the Amir chapter of Seedfolks. Then, students completed this mapping activity. Students then worked on their pizza box projects (due tomorrow). Don't forget- tomorrow is cultural food day. Students can bring their foods to my room in the morning and we'll have a table set up for what you're bringing.
Homework: Finish up your pizza box project and prepare any food you're bringing for cultural food day.
