ELA Update
Mrs. Wolfe's Classroom
What's Happening??
We have had an awesome week in ELA! We took our time with our lessons and will now be testing over unit 2 (most likely) on Tuesday. We will be reviewing and practicing the assessment on Monday. The kids will need to review their notes on theme, central idea, and the half-page vocabulary sheet. However,most of their preparation has been through authentic hands-on work in the classroom! Check it out!
Coming up with the Central Idea for a non-fiction article
Learning how to annotate a text
Reading a speech and implementing a "Say Something" strategy
"Say Something" is a strategy to help with comprehension.
Taking turns using the strategy
Focused and engaged in the text!
Coming up with Central Idea
Looking for supporting details for the central idea
Reading aloud in a group
Looking forward...
We will begin Unit 3 next week and will examine author purpose, audience, and point of view. We will write our own personal life philosophies!! Our main inspiration will be the "This I Believe" website. Students can also expect their 3rd SAT vocabulary quiz next week.
