Reading:

We hope to finish reading both books this week, Hatchet and Esperanza Rising.  The kids have done an amazing job of switching to the new Literature Circle Role sheet which encourages higher level thinking about the reading.  We will read and practice using Text Evidence to support your reading and thinking. 

 

Writing:

The students have finished writing their Opinion Writing piece. We will move on to choosing an Opinion writing topic that will show both the pros and cons of the topic.
