Today we looked closely at our written information essays as they are heavily weighted as our report card grading system. Ms. Lamb gets the feeling that some people don't actually read what they write before submitting it. So, everyone looked carefully at a printed version and made some changes after Ms. Lamb read aloud the checklist we are graded against. Mostly people are doing well, so grades won't look to scary.
Remember please that a 1 in any area on the writing report card means this student is still a beginner at this and may be operating at 4th grade level. That might be a huge increase in writing skill, so please be sure to read comments carefully and don't despair. Everyone is progressing in writing.
To celebrate, we will write some more this week. We will start our short report writing for Amigos Round One, Mexico and Central America tomorrow. We start with source perusal, topic choice, reading, note-taking, outlining and writing. A report will appear before Friday! We will be doing some arguing in writing for science starting on Wednesday, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.
Today we finished or will finish our Fact Sheet and Map.
Tonight's homework:
