Monday: We will do read out loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we will do an introductory activity for the book. Next, we will listen to two chapters of The Devil's Arithmetic on CD. After each chapter students will have a choice of how to summarize the chapter. You can either write down five important events or draw a picture of one important event with a caption. The drawings must be in color. We also will start filling in a character description chart.
Tuesday: Today we will work on a verb worksheet, reviewing present, past, and past participle irregular verbs. You will be able to do a crossword puzzle for extra credit. Also, you will write 15 sentences on three questions about traditions and remembering the past. We will also listen to/read chapter 3 in The Devil's Arithmetic, finish a box for that chapter and add to the character chart.
Wednesday: We will do read out loud and Caught 'Ya. We will have time to listen to/read chapter 4 of TDA, complete a box and do the character chart. We will also write a journal about injustices we see in the world.
Thursday: We will again have read out loud and do a Caught 'Ya sentence. Then we will work on vocabulary from TDA, writing definitions and sentences. We will also listen to/read Chapter 5 from TDA, complete a box, and continue with the character chart.
Friday: We will have read out loud and Caught 'Ya. We will work on more verb materials with "Vivacious Verbs" and then listen/read Chapter 6 in TDA, with a box to finish and more character chart work.
We are going to finish The Devil's Arithmetic before spring break, so be sure to keep up on the boxes and the reading. BUT PLEASE DO NOT READ AHEAD IN THE BOOK! Thanks!
