We're back after a beautiful long weekend! Deadlines are quickly approaching and we still have so much to accomplish. We started today working on our World's Fair essays again. Students have one more class to work. I passed out the rubric for how these papers will be scored. We went over it and I took questions.
In reading, we read and discussed The Man Who Was Poe. We are beginning to see similarities among Avi's writing. Students then met in their book groups to discuss the reading so far. We made predictions for the next chunk of reading and worked through any questions/confusions that we had. The next deadline is next Tuesday, June 8. Students need to read and write another response paper with the first part being a summary and the second part a response to how they like the book so far.
Final portfolios are due June 15. Genre Bingo is due June 16.
This afternoon, students in 6F had a catch up block to work on what they needed to for the time being. I explained the science project that we will be working on this week. (More on that tomorrow)
Don't forget World's Fair is Thursday and Step Up Day is Friday.
