Wednesday September 24, 2014

This morning began with MadFish telling us about her car ride down to Florida.

In science we took our second formative assessment on controlled experiments.

In math we wrapped up powers of ten.  Refer to yesterday's videos for homework help.

In writing we found the true themes to our writing pieces by interviewing each other.  To find a theme we asked ourselves, "What is my story really about?" and thought about the lessons we may have learned from this story.  These themes will serve for strong endings that will leave the reader pondering about their own lives and connections to the story.

Finally, in reading we took our first mini-assessment in reading.  We practiced these two skills:
Multiple Choice Questions
Read the question
Go back to the text
Highlight and Number Proof

Select the best answer

Short Response/Essay
R- Restate the question
A- Answer the question
G- Get text evidence
E- Elaborate in your own words
R- Reread and make sure your work is wonderful and focused

See everyone on Friday!
