-Punctuation, spelling and capitals will be our focus through the use of our agendas (accuracy in copying messages that model good writing form) and we will also pursue this worthy self-editing goal soon in our personal dictionary/spellers. -P.A.R.I.S. -Poetry: Students will continue to build upon their own poetry anthology. This week, we hope to complete our sixth and seventh types of poems, Quiz Poems and It Could Have Been Worse. Students will have ample opportunity to read the poems of their classroom peers as they have the added responsibility as peer editors. During the poetry unit, the teacher will read at least one poem per day. Students who have either written or found a poem will be given the opportunity to share them with the class. -Journal Entry: There is no
journal entry this week. |
