The Profile in Courage projects are due on Monday, 1/25. Students will present to the class on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will begin our new unit themed Journeys. The students will work collaboratively in small groups to brainstorm ideas to the questions: What does it mean to go on a journey? How can a person be changed by a journey they have experienced? We will also read a short nonfiction passage called Grandfather's Journey, and respond to it in a written paragraph.
A Time for Kids magazine that highlights the best inventions of 2015 will be read in small groups on Tuesday. A comprehension QUIZ on the magazine is scheduled for Thursday, 1/28.
Students will finish planning their hero essays by adding supporting details & elaboration, transitions, and a concluding paragraph. The rough draft will be written and revised the week of 2/1.
