Reading Aplenty! Reading Galore!

Students are reading lots of fiction and nonfiction and participating in small group discussions for the last weeks of school. Grades will be taken for active participation. We have also been working on writing creative responses to journals. Some of the topics I select are a little wacky. Some are insightful. Ask your student about some of them. Finish the course strongly, students! Please fly your U.S. flags tomorrow, Saturday, May 21, to honor the men and women who guarantee our freedoms. It’s called Armed Forces Day.

Quiz on Thursday

We will have a quiz over elements of fiction and plot on Thursday, September 3. I went over the notes for fiction today and will cover the plot notes tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know what’s coming. I look forward to reading the IVAN CAPP Booklets that are due tomorrow, September 1. Have a marvelous Monday!

Introduction Letter and Ivan Capp Collection Page

We spent a great deal of time editing then writing the final copies of our introduction letters in class today. If it wasn’t finished in class, then the final copy is homework. I also assigned the IVAN CAPP collection page. Students are to complete as many examples as possible. They will probably only have seven examples of conjunctions, and that is just fine. Check your Remind text from me to have an electronic copy.

You should have at least four journal entries for this week for each of the reading sections. Study guide questions and vocabulary are on the Student Learning Hub under the Assignment tab.

My ILA class should have their chapter 10-13 questions for Where the Red Fern Grows completed on Monday, October 20.  You will check them in class; if you misplaced your copy of the questions, you will find electronic versions on the Student Learning Hub under the Class Novels tab along with the audio for chapters 9-13.
