March 10
Day two of our RL2 Assessment. If you complete the assessment today, you are able to submit it to turnitin.com.
March 5
Today begins a multi-day assessment. Not because it's huge, but because you will need to take time to read a couple of stories. First of all, here is a look at the RL2 standard. Here is the assessment (yes, you can work on it outside of class).
Here are the stories you need to choose from for the assessment:
"The Ninth Captain's Tale"
"Sun, Moon, and Talia"
"Sleeping Beauty (Little Briar Rose)"
"Sleeping Beauty"
March 3
First focus today--complete and submit your fairy tale (started last class).
Next area of focus--get caught up. Missing any assignments? Get them taken care of. Missing our assessment from last week? Get that taken care of.
March 2
Time for you to try your hand at creating your own fairy tale. Once completed, you will need to submit your fairy tale to turnitin.com.
February 26
Up first, here is an introduction to the RL4 standard. We will then move into our first attempt at this standard. Remember, this assessment is your first 80% score in the gradebook. If you are absent, make sure to set up a time to get caught up.
The second part of class is yours to continue making sure you are caught up. There are still plenty of zeroes that need to be removed from the gradebook.
February 24
Today is a work session to make sure you are caught up on practice activities before we get to our first assessment. The first thing you should do is make sure to finish the Nursery Rhyme Activity. From there, make sure you have all the practice activities from "The Boy Pu-nia..." completed.
February 23
Today we will begin (and for some finish) a Nursery Rhyme Activity. You will need to turn this activity in once completed.
February 19
Picking up from last class will have you taking notes on Context Clues. You will then use those notes for a practice activity that will mimic what an assessment for this skill will look like. "The Boy Pu-nia..." will be used here.
That will then take us to the final time you will use "The Boy Pu-nia...". This time you are getting the last element of our standard, which is pulling evidence to support your theme topic/statement.
If time permits, we will look into a Tongue Twister activity. If we run out of time, we will complete this activity at a later date.
February 17
We are going to continue working with "The Boy Pu-nia..." story today by focusing on theme. We will start with notes on theme, and then we will have a theme-based activity using "The Boy Pu-nia...".
Between the theme and context clues notes, you will two more components to some of our semester standards at your fingertips.
February 12
We will start things off by partnering back up so that we can go over the results of the What Is It? activity from last class.
From there we will form into small groups to tackle a Riddle Me This activity.
Up next will be an element of one of our standards. We will take a look at how to create a solid summary. You will then get some practice. You will be writing a summary for the Hawaiian fairy tale "The Boy Pu-nia and the King of the Sharks."
February 10
You will be using turnitin.com this semester to turn in some of your work, so today we are going to get you set up. These slides will help you get started in creating your turnitin account. Once everyone is up and running, I will have you submit a practice assignment so that you know the process.
Following the turnitin account creation, you will take part in a partnered activity. The partnership that is the most accurate will receive a prize next class.
Finally, you will get a set of Terms to Know notes for our next unit, which is Folklore of Our Youth.
