Monday: Students read, "Eleven," by Sandra Cisneros, focusing on dialogue, exposition, conflict, and theme. Practicing the rules of dialogue, students create a conversation between the main character, Rachel, and another character from the story. (SB pages 65-69)
Homework: Finish dialogue conversation (10 sentences) if needed
Tuesday: As a class, we visited the Book Fair! :) Then, we took guided notes about dialogue rules (See Ms. B. for a copy of the handout) and practiced applying those rules to sample sentences.
Homework: Correct last night's homework using the new notes about dialogue grammar.
Wednesday: Last night's homework was collected! We read "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" (SB pages 70-77). 2nd block worked on the After Reading questions. 3rd block took a student survey.
Homework: Finish "Lemon Brown." Complete the Writing Prompt on page 78. Write a new ending for the story. It can be a change from what actually happened, or can be an extension of how the story ended.
Thursday: Class Spelling Bee! We also updated Data Folders. Class was shortened due to our 1st quarter Reward Party.
Homework: None. Don't eat too much candy!
Friday: No School! Parent-Teacher Conferences
