Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due Friday.
Reading: Today was a reading skills practice day using MobyMax Reading Stories.
Writing: We talked about adding style to the introduction of a literary essay using one of these ideas:
- Use a quote from the book or from a famous person,
- Ask a question for the reader to think about,
- Use visual details for the reader to imagine a scene.
Students also worked on revising today. A literary essay will be due Monday, February 12. Homework is to work on writing for 15 minutes.
Here are some literary essay resources we’ve been using in class:
- A literary essay we wrote together.
- A sample literary essay to use for ideas.
