Hi all. Ms. Lamb is in and out this week. Out yesterday and out tomorrow. We have been working on our practice essay about the Third Little Pig in LA. This draft should be typed and have 5 paragraphs by now. Feel free to work on it at home if it is not there yet. Today we worked on elaborating our reasons and making good transition phrases like "Also...., In addition to...., However...., As a result of this....." and also adding thought prompts like "I wonder if...., This is important because.... For this reason.....For example...."
We also thought about restating our claim and adding a "so what" sentence or two in our conclusion.
In Social Studies we continue to work on our RAFT project where we become a character from the colonial period and construct a story with Role Audience, Format and Topic. The topic must be how and why colonies became and what happened with the native Americans. Students are creating a digital project which can be as simple as a letter and as complicated as they can imagine, but it is due next Friday.
Next week we start The Cardboard Challenge, so we won't have social studies every day. It may become homework after this Friday.
Homework today:
LA - finish sentences and word hunt (finish typing essay if not done)
Math - skill sheet is due Friday
Science - ISILT Why does a cell membrane need to be semi-permeable? This is a test practice question. DO it on Google Classroom or as a googledoc or hand write it if you must. Due tomorrow
Read for 20 minutes and bring your book tomorrow for reading marathon in the library
