Class Break

Level Rewards/Behavior Incentives
Reading Labs:
The literature reading labs are interactive groups, each ran by a separate staff that include analysis, and in-depth lessons around the books. Students are both reading and writing during this time. Depending on the book, the story may be one longer novel or it is a quickly changing story. The groups are by appropriate level and targeting the needs of the individual students.

RECESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The middle part of thee day,
Let's look at some samples!
The Hobbit:
The dwarves, along with Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, continue their quest to reclaim Erebor, their homeland, from Smaug. Bilbo Baggins is in possession of a mysterious and magical ring.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1170358/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Book Summary:
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
Non-Ficition (meaning the book is about information and facts) summaries are more precise.
Let's do some together!
(Powerpoint)
Independently:
Summary Test
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Class Break :-)))))))))
Lunch/RECESS
ART!
Students will look at art as a voice and vehicle for change, with respect to MLKjr day. Examples of posters that speak about an issue. Watch a video on art for change project. Then students will pick their own issue they want to speak about and design their own poster. They can use a template of a poster from online or create their own. When this is complete, they will post on our class collaborative blog and comment on each others.
Art as a voice, protest posters!
