This week you will be working on Unit 1 Lesson 3 in your Building Vocabulary Skills packet. Please work on that today as the computer lab is being used for MAP testing. If you are working in the library, please be quiet as students will be working in the computer lab all day.
You will also be working on an extended response question for the first story in your Classics book- Call It Courage. Please answer the following question on notebook paper and then you can add to your blog when a computer becomes available. We will go over in class the format for answering an extended response question.
EXTENDED RESPONSE QUESTION: Do you agree or disagree that Mafatu is worthy of the title Stout Heart. Use ideas from the story and your own knowledge to answer the question.
You will be selecting a novel to read today for our PERSEVERANCE unit. You may select Call It Courage, Robinson Crusoe, Call of the Wild, Julie of the Wolves...or any other book that is approved by the teacher (remember it has to focus on the unit theme). Begin reading your novel and develop a reading plan to finish the book. You will be completing a book project when you are finished reading.
If we have time today, I will show you Voki and how to add it to your blog. A Voki is a speaking avatar that you can add to your blog. I will give you the username and password in class.
