Wait until you see what your students did last week! After our study of sentence structures, they used multiple types of sentences to describe the story elements in their summer reading books. Working in groups, the students had to evaluate the images and sentences they chose individually to make a group presentation in Photostory 3. This assignment combined many language arts objectives: sentence construction, story elements, imagery, collaboration, and speaking. I will try to get them loaded onto this page. Stay tuned!
This week's "Weekly Reader" assignment involved essays from www.thisibelieve.com. Students chose their own essays and wrote responses. Their work this week was significantly better than their work before! In fact, I am so impressed with their depth of thought and analytical prowess. When I get the eportfolios figured out, you will be able to read some of them. These assignments keep them culturally literate and help them analyze the veracity of information they receive.
