After last week and our writing frenzy, we need a bit of a breather! See how you like this!
MONDAY: We'll start with Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we will study a bit about the meaning of the word "genre" and look at a few examples so that you will know what to write on your Weekly Reading Reports. After that we will learn about writing from different points of view. Your homework will be about a trip to an amusement park and you will write your response to the trip from your point of view, one of your parent's point of view, and either your pet's, your sibling's, or your friend's point of view. You will write seven sentences for each paragraph. This will be due on Wednesday.
TUESDAY: First, we will review what first and third person is through a powerpoint presentation and a worksheet. Then we'll focus on spelling, working primarily on long and short vowel sounds. We will do a few exercises and practices and even a competition! Then we'll finish up with SSR.
WEDNESDAY: As usual, we will have Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we'll get a worksheet about long vowel sounds to get your brains working and your vocabulary improving. Finally, we'll read a myth, "Persephone and the Season." Then, as one of the main characters in the myth, you will write a 20-line journal about the myth, using 10 facts from the story and the feelings and emotions that your character might be feeling. This journal is due on Friday.
THURSDAY: We will be doing Scholastic Reading Inventory testing in Mrs. Fuzak's room today. Bring all your work, because with any time left you will be able to work on the journal or your reading and Weekly Reading Report.
FRIDAY: Today, after Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya, we will grade our Cause and Effect essays, focusing on ways you could improve. Then we will go over some common misspelled words and a worksheet. Finally, we will complete a cloze test on the most commonly used seventh grade words--all words that you should be very familiar with!
HOMEWORK:
MONDAY: NONE
TUESDAY: NONE
WEDNESDAY: Three amusement park point of view paragraphs are due
THURSDAY: NONE
FRIDAY: PERSEPHONE, DEMETER, or PLUTO journal is due and your Weekly Reading Report #3 is due!
