Note about Reading Assessments

Access Henry's last blog post for the week HERE

LANGUAGE ARTS:
LEARNING TARGET: I CAN analyze relationships between characters and traits in which to describe a character
We reviewed traits to describe a character and then how to adequately summarize the relationship between two characters and beyond.
READING GROUPS: Students completed their relationship bridges which analyzed the relationship between Jess and Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Students completed a relationship roster between two characters in Bridge and then answered comprehension questions about chapters 7-9, focusing particularly on enriching vocabulary words from their reading.
THEN, they created a recipe of a character from their reading and a character from their real, daily lives (see our example for Mrs. Zettel below), and then completed a Realistic Fiction Writing prompt of choice from the topics below to extend the concept and include the writing/ language arts component into this skill of focus.
HOMEWORK: Literature Circle Roles due Thursday, Nov. 20th.
