Monday: We start with Read Out Loud with Crash and then a Caught 'Ya. Next we worked on homophones, one side of the page with a partner. Then we got all the myth materials out, added the rubric and stapled all the papers together. Next we went from desk to desk to read eachother's myths, leaving a positive comment after reading it. Then we handed them in.
Tuesday: After Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya, we worked on the other side of the homophone paper with a partner again. The paper is due on Wednesday. Then we read an brief article about the author of the book we are going to read, Deborah Ellis. We then discussed the concept of "activism" and what possible topics students could become "active" about. Finally, we wrote journals about a topic that you could be interested in. This is due on Wednesday, too.
Wednesday: Following Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya, we filled in information about complete sentences as we watched a powerpoint presentation. Then we worked briefly on a worksheet identifying and fixing complete sentences. Next, we made flashcards of the vocabulary for the book The Breadwinner. We also went to the library. We also took Cloze Spelling Test #2.
Thursday: We did Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya. Then we graded the three worksheets from previously in the week--the homophone worksheet, the Cloze Spelling Test #2, and the sentence fragment worksheet. At the end of the hour, the students worked on an Afghanistan chart with information and questions and a complete sentence worksheet. Both of these are due on Friday.
Friday: After Read Out Loud and Caught 'Ya, we graded the complete sentence worksheet and the Afghanistan chart. Then we reviewed the vocabulary using the flashcards. Next, we handed out the books of The Breadwinner to each student, the comprehension question packet, and assigned the first three chapters of the book to be read with the questions done by Tuesday, November 9. Pages to be read by Tuesday: 7-43; Chapter 1-3.
