6th: Today we began class by learning about a Mad Libs project that we're starting. Students learned about the project- see right sidebar- and what their responsibilities would be with this project. We wrote stories to use for our mad libs in class and made sure that we labeled the necessary parts of speech in these stories. If students did not complete this in class, it is for homework. From there, we got together with our Oceania myth groups and read our stories and began to work on the graphic organizer. Some groups started to work on their teaching poster. We will continue to do so tomorrow.
Homework: Read and record. Complete mad libs story and labeling parts of speech in story.
7th: Today we began class by recalling what it means to annotate a text. Ms. D. modeled annotating an article and then walked students through the steps of how to summarize the article and then answer the project reflection questions about the article. From there, we had time to search through the huge bin of journalistic articles to find 3 that we would use for our project and then we began the process of annotating, summarizing and reflecting. Due tomorrow: one article that has been annotated, summarized and reflected on. From there, we did a writing prompt, writing only in complex sentences. We edited each others' work. Homework tonight- choose one of the 3 stories that you have started this week and figure out which one you like the best. Rewrite it tonight, skipping lines and fixing all of the edits your partner made.
Homework: Read and record. Bookmarks due tomorrow. Article w/ annotation, summary and reflection AND a re-written story, skipping lines.
