ELA - Students continued with their Realistic Fiction Reader's Workshop with Day 6. We learned another sign-post "Words of the Wiser" and filled out a
worksheet, this worksheet should go in their portfolio. We discussed any
problems students had with last night's chapters and then they were given time
to read tonight's chapters. Portfolios should be an ongoing process. Jotting down quotes as they find
them in the reading, keeping track of characters and their characteristics as
they are mentioned in the book. Keeping track of theme indicators as we
proceed. I have been mentioning these during our class discussions and have
pointed out how our signposts are clues to the theme or conflict...so they
SHOULD be having those little "aha" moments themselves as they read.I gave more hard nosed due dates for the AR quizzes. I will enter any
quizzes the day after the due dates for this marking period. Hoping this keeps
students more on track than saying that they should be reading a book every two
weeks, they can see the pacing in their grade-book through student access. Homework: Read Chapters 20-22 Journal #12
