LA - today we read The Pigman, Ch 12. I then introduced their new unit which is science fiction. Students had to read on their own, and fill out the worksheet given to them. The sheet consisted of the definition of science fiction, key elements, theme and conflict. We also discussed movies, books and TV shows that are science based. When we return from break students will start reading the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry. They will also read short science fiction stories in class. Students worked on grammar, opening adjectives (single word and phrases). HW - students should be working on their cereal box projects. I will be checking my email over break if you or you child have questions regarding the project.
