Language Arts - Reading - self-selected novel study...
~ Students will chose from 10 novels and read 30 minutes each day.
~ Next, 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 2 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 2 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. |
.................................................................................................
~ Writing sentences - we are working at increasing our accuracy when we communicate in writing.
DAILY WRITING PRACTICE...
1. Reading responses from our novel study... chunking sheets describing likes, dislikes, questions, and patterns with plenty of detail.
2. Edit your writing.
3. Use proper sentence structures.
................................................................
~Word Work - Unit 7 - since students are starting from different levels of spelling, there will be different groups, according to where they are at, as observed in class. Students may increase or decrease in levels, depending on their written outputs.
- All NEW units are handed out on Mondays and last week's unit is graded and returned with suggestions for improvements.
- We work on them for 30 minutes, and then the rest needs to be worked on at home, if incomplete.
- Students who work at the word and letter patterns, connect the sounds letters make, understand what the words mean, know how to use them in sentences,... leads to spelling and vocabulary comprehension improvements!
*Students are
responsible for bringing home their "working with words" handout at the beginning of each week. There are activities on the
pages; practicing word patterns, meanings of words, etc,.. Students must return the page for grading on the
last day of the week.
