We began ELA with completing our daily grammar and reviewing the homework. Students then had about 40 minutes to work on their rough drafts. They will have three more in-class days to work on their papers and the final drafts are due next Thursday. After writing, we read The Giver and worked on making explicit and implicit inferences.
During social studies we reviewed the work they did yesterday while I was in UOI training. I taught them an answer-writing technique called T.A.G. It stands for: turn the question into a statement, answer the question, and give details that support the answer. Students then revised their answers using T.A.G.
As a reminder, students are supposed to get a parent/guardian's initials in their agendas each night to show that they're completing at least 30 minutes of reading each day. I will be doing an agenda check tomorrow.
Lastly, I'll be giving the Bill of Rights/Amendment Change Process reassessment tomorrow. Students have been reminded to use their study guides, practice on quizlet, and to take their social studies notebooks home if necessary.
Thanks for the reminder! Benji has been reading nightly but I have not signed his agenda. I will remember to do so going forward.
