- Collect homework (just your paragraph, NOT your article)
- Find your binder (on the center table)
- Begin working on the backside of this week’s vocabulary handout
Handed back graded homework and placed tests into homework binders
TO BE COLLECTED (eventually):
Using your article (about someone making a good choice) as a starting point,
- Underline the description of the “good choice” that was made.
- On a separate paper, imagine what might have happened in the past in this person’s life that eventually drove him/her make this good choice.
- This should be believable, but NOT ACTUAL.
- What could happen in the future if more people make the same choice?
- Again, believable, but NOT ACTUAL
- In a paragraph, imagine someone with the same past making a bad choice.
- Explain what they chose
- Explain what will likely happen in the future because of this bad choice.
Read from Maniac Magee as an example of “showing” a messy room (just like your homework assignment)
Read from Alfred Kropp as an example of “showing” – listing TELL statements that could have been used instead in the story
EXIT SLIP:
Rewrite one of the “tell” sentences from “The Redwoods” by changing it into a show paragraph – COLLECTED FOR A GRADE, then viewed and shared on Elmo
Homework:
Complete backside of this week’s vocabulary word (Lesson 4) handout.
Study for Friday’s vocabulary test (Lesson 4: elude, fallow, blight…)
