5/6 MUR - This week we spent the majority of our time preparing for the third interim assessment. This interim we will be focusing on parts of a play, nonfiction pamphlets, poetry by Langston Hughes and editing. Students read Dragonwings in play form, and studied pamphlets on recycling. We reviewed poetry from our Harlem Renaissance unit and continue to work on editing daily.
3/4 MUR - This week students spent time reviewing for the third interim assessment. This assessment marks a shift in our learning. The third interim will contain higher level reading passages as well as two written responses. The focus of the interim is a reading by Scott O'Deal (to complement our reading of Island of the Blue Dolphins), two non fiction pieces and a play. Student's have spent the week honing their test taking skills and continue to practice written responses to literature.
