First...LAUNCH:
1. Watch the video below to review quotation marks.
Next...EXPLORE:
- Watch the video, "Week 5 ELA Lesson 1 video."
- Then, practice using dialogue with the IXL activity below it. Remember to work on the IXL activity until the program tells you that you have reached your daily practice limit. You will not sign in or become a member.
Last...LANDING:
Our mentor sentence this week is: "It wasn't us," Stewart tried to say, but Mr. Kodinski wouldn't listen to us. This sentence is from Chicken Sunday.
- Watch the read aloud of Chicken Sunday to try to find examples of dialogue in the story.

Close read (or listen to) the two articles below, “Kids Stand Up for Animals in Captivity” & “Zoos”.
Think about the following questions as you read:
-What point of view about zoos does each article express?
-What reasons/evidence do they use to support their point of view? -How does your point of view compare to the point of view shared in each article?
Last...LANDING:
- Complete the graphic organizer below in the method your teacher has chosen.
ELA Lesson 3
Goal: I can choose thoughtful reasons and descriptive examples in my writing to help persuade my readers.
First...LAUNCH:
- Watch the intro video below that reviews the characteristics of persuasive writing.
Next...EXPLORE:
- Watch the video below to learn more about choosing reasons and examples in your persuasive writing.
Last...LANDING:
- Using information from this week's videos and articles, write a persuasive paragraph about whether or not zoos should remain open. Focus on choosing powerful reasons and detailed examples that will sway your audience.

Math Lesson 2
Goal: I can sort polygons by their sides and angles.
First...LAUNCH:
- Hey...what is a POLYGON, anyway? Watch this video to gain a better understanding!
Next...EXPLORE:
- Grab a piece of scrap paper & pencil, or anything else you can write on...you'll need it!

Classify the polygons by dragging each one down to the category that describes its angles or sides.
Submit this to your teacher by his/her chosen method (Seesaw, Schoology, Google Classroom, etc.)
Math Lesson 3
GOAL: I can recognize and draw lines of symmetry and determine when figures have line symmetry.
First...LAUNCH:
Think About: What does symmetry mean? What items have lines of symmetry?
Rock out to the Symmetry Song as you learn what symmetry means and where we can find it.
Next...EXPLORE:
Watch the Video Math Expressions Grade 4 Unit 8 Lesson 11.
The teacher will explain how to identify if shapes have lines of symmetry, how to draw the rest of the shape with a line of symmetry, and also will discuss shapes with multiple lines of symmetry.
Within the video, the teacher will ask you to pause the video to answer questions, please be sure to do this to check your level of understanding.
Complete the Khan Academy Practice problems “Identifying Lines of Symmetry”. Watch the video within Khan Academy if more assistance is needed.
Last...LANDING:
Complete the “Identify Lines of Symmetry” page.
If the program you are using allows it, draw the lines of symmetry on the shapes that you answered “yes” to.
CONTENT LESSON 1
GOAL: To learn about the landmarks, industries, and history of the Midwest states.
First...LAUNCH:
- Watch YouTube Video "The Midwest Region"
Next...EXPLORE:
- TCI Website through Clever: Read or listen to the audio recording for Lesson 8: "A Cropduster Tour of the Midwest" Sections 1-9 & Lesson Summary.

- Write a postcard to a friend about your trip to the Midwest
-On the front, draw a picture of one of the stops on your tour.
(Use the toolbar for this activity)
-On the back, write about the stop. Describe what you saw and why it is important in the Midwest.
***This activity will be completed within the TCI website through your Clever App.
Art Lesson
In this week’s art lesson, you will create a fun sculptural art book that will enable you to express personal ideas and identity. In your book, you’ll feature drawings and artifacts of objects, places, and people of personal significance to you. For inspiration, you will see examples of concertina books created by book artists whose work is shown in museums and on the web. Then, you will make the basic book fan-fold structure, called an accordion. You will make a maquette (French for model) of each pop-out, through step-by-step demonstrations and diagrams. This will help you to think through your ideas for your own book. Then, you will complete your book, with your own drawings, pop-outs you choose to use, and light-weight, flat objects that you have planned to fit into your book.
Here’s a list of materials you will need for this project:
Two standard pieces of paper. Recycle paper. What kinds? Old work sheets, or old files or paper trash that you are allowed to use.
One large piece of paper. Recycle or ask permission. What works? Any paper that is at least 8 ½ x 14”, such as shopping bags, or wrapping paper, or any non-wrinkled paper, that is not the cheapest quality, not thin, flimsy, or see-through. What won’t work? Paper towels, tissue paper, really wrinkled packing paper.
(Notes: I want everybody to have fun with this project, so please make any changes that will make it work for you. If you have difficulty with cutting or folding skills, even bigger paper works better. If you paint, but you do not draw, you may design this project using a paper that is heavy enough to accept paint.)
Scissors.
Glue stick, or school glue, and a few pieces of tape.
Pencil.
Eraser.
A straight edge. A steel rule, longer than 12”. A wooden yardstick will work.
Optional: Paper scraps with patterns or shiny prints, a few post-it notes with sticky trimmed off.
Ready to start? Follow along with the video below to complete the project!
Happy art-making,
