MONDAY: We'll start off the week with Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we will correct the adverb practice that we worked on on Friday. We will get the friendly letters back, and those who need to make corrections will and turn them in by Wednesday. Next we will have time to read Chapter 7 in The Outsiders.
TUESDAY: First, we will have SSR. Then we will take the adverbs quiz. This will count for a grade! Then we will work on inferences--what they are, and what they mean in the book, The Outsiders.
WEDNESDAY: After Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya we will read Chapter 8 from the book in Readers Theater style. People will take parts and read. Then we will split into groups and work on writing a few inferences of our own!
THURSDAY: We will have Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we will have some time to read Chapter 9 for the quiz on Friday over Chapters 7-9. Next, we will divide into groups and write a song about The Outsiders that we will perform on Friday.
FRIDAY: After Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya are finished, we will take the CPS quiz over chapters 7-9 and write a journal about "Stay Gold." At the end of class we will practice our songs and then perform them for the class.
Should be a great week in school and with the weather!

English Work for May 10-14, 2010
Wow! It's May and Tulip Time is almost over! Time is flying! Let's finish this school year happily and merrily. (what part of speech are those words?)
Anyway...
MONDAY: We will start with Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we will listen to a song by Stevie Wonder. (Ask your parents if you won't know who he is.) He wrote the theme song for The Outsiders movie. Then you will read a student writing and write a one-page paper about whether you think the writing is good or not. That will be due on Wednesday.
TUESDAY: We will enjoy a little SSR time and do a Caught 'Ya. Next we will do some adverb practice. After that we will read the letter that Sodapop wrote to Ponyboy. Then we will write our own friendly letters or thank you letters to people of our choice. The letter will be at least three paragraphs long and we will also practice writing envelopes and then send the letters.
WEDNESDAY: First, we will have ROL and Caught 'Ya. We will visit the library--probably the last visit of the year. Then we will learn a little bit about "Gone With the Wind." Then we will read Chapter Six of The Outsiders.
THURSDAY: We will have time for SSR. Next we will take a CPS quiz over chapters 4-6. After that we will answer some discussion questions and talk about what it means to be a hero. The letter is due today.
FRIDAY: First, we'll have ROL and then Caught 'Ya. We will have Adverb Practice--exactly like the quiz we are going to take on the following Tuesday. We will continue on in our discussion of The Outsiders.
Homework: Monday: None
Tuesday: Chapter 6 read
