School Canceled - Inclement Weather Tuesday, 09/12/2017 School Canceled - Inclement Weather Wednesday, 09/13/2017 At the beginning of class, students will have 10 minutes to study for their Week 2 VFL Quiz. After the quiz, students will copy and define the Week 3 words. After the successful completion of Unit 1 in SpringBoard, we will move on to Unit 2: Cultural Perspectives. This unit focuses on elements of narrative writing, such as dialogue, and cultural experiences. To prepare, students will complete a narrative activity that teaches them to identify elements of narrative including characterization, dialogue, and point-of-view. Students will read an excerpt from the Washington Irving story "The Devil and Tom Walker." They will complete a chart identifying key narrative elements and then begin planning how they will complete or finish the story. Students should use proper narrative elements and include dialogue in their story. Thursday, 09/14/2017 Students will continue their narrative writing for the fictional story "The Devil and Tom Walker." Completed narratives are due by the end of the class period. Friday, 09/15/2017 We will review the Week 3 VFL words and go over correct definitions to prepare for the quiz next week. After review, students will complete 20 minutes of independent reading. To begin Unit 2, we will read the poem "Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyons. Lyons is an award-winning author of children's books who grew up in the small Appalachian community of Harlan, Kentucky. Students will analyze the poem to identify sensory language, structure, and technique. Learn more about sensory language (also called imagery) by clicking HERE.
