Learning opportunities this week...

Language Arts - we will finish our novel study by Tuesday morning.
~ Students choose from 10 novels and read 30minutes each day.
~ Next, they complete a "CHUNKING SHEET."
This means reading responses from our novel study...
chunking sheets describing likes, dislikes, questions, and patterns with plenty of detail.
Chunking Sheet Guidelines
| What I liked…
Use complete sentences to explain any event(s) in the ‘chunk’ you enjoyed. It could be when a character said or did something that was interesting to you. Explain your likes with evidence from what you read or reasons! ~ Minimum 3 sentences. |
|
What I disliked… Use complete sentences to explain any event(s) in the ‘chunk’ you disliked. It could be when a character said or did something that you simply did not like. Explain your dislikes with evidence from what you read or reasons! ~ Minimum 3 sentences. |
|
Puzzles or Questions… Use complete sentences (and a question mark at the end) to write 3 powerful questions. These questions are things that puzzled you. Remember that powerful questions usually begin with HOW or WHY. Powerful questions do not have a one word answer. ~ Minimum 2 questions. |
|
Patterns… Use complete sentences to explain any patterns you found in this ‘chunk.’ Patterns might include story events, words / phrases a character repeats, or how the author writes. Explain your patterns with evidence or reasons! ~ Minimum 2 sentences. |

~Word Work - Unit 9 - 3 groups - AT THEIR SPELLING LEVELS.

~Sensory Imagery Writing
Sensory details allow the reader to put themselves into your writing mentally by forming a picture in his/her mind. Without sensory details, the reader becomes bored and cannot emotionally connect to the story.
Sensory details include words that describe sights, sounds, textures, smells, and sometimes tastes of the setting, characters, and interactions.
Directions: Write powerful, image-creating sentences by looking at the BIOME image you printed out and adding sensory details. Make up additional details to construct new sentences.
