Classroom Updates

Exact change, please- do not bring large bills.

Hey all!  Here’s the link to the website I used for examples in adding elements of suspense to your narrative.

Descriptive writing – 5 ways to build tension, atmosphere and suspense in KS1 and KS2 – Teachwire

Monster 161-200 is homework if you did not finish it in class.

Some of the grades for my classes (primarily reading) may be off by some points.  As best as I can figure the system cut off the grade reports early Monday.  Monday afternoon I did some fixes to some vocab grades and some make-up work.  The grades in Student Vue/Parent Vue should be accurate.  I’m sorry for the confusion.

Due by the end of class tomorrow I need those assignments completed.  We have worked on them everyday this week.

“The Lottery” First Read

Narrative Organization

Narrative Planning

Story Beginnings

If you did not complete the reading questions in class- you need to have them done before you come to class Thursday.

Monster Reading 131-159

ON a separate sheet of paper ON YOUR OWN and IN YOUR OWN WORDS (NO DIRECT COPY/QUOTES):

1.What do we learn about in this section of the reading?

2.What do we learn about Steve’s actions the day of the robbery that had not been confirmed/mentioned before?

3.In your OWN words – what is the difference between “I’m not guilty” and “I didn’t do it” ?

4.Why might Steve be so fixated on Sunset’s conviction and claim of innocence?

5.Using inference – why has Steve’s mother not yet come to visit him?

Please do not try to pay in large bills.

If you have not completed the reading in Monster pages 131-159, you need to do so for homework tonight!  Please and thank you!  Shou

I goofed on a few of StudySync assignments and clicked “Reopen” instead of submitting my comments and feedback.  If you got your assignment reopened, please just resubmit it!  Sorry!  Shou

ALSO- on the Ten Days First Read – I will have to grade the Think Questions separately.  Your feedback is ONLY for the Written Response.
