« Write-On Wednesday | Main | Monday on the Write Track »

Students are discovering how difficult it can be to rewrite another person's research in their own words. Students continued to construct sentences that paraphrase the facts into their rough draft, with some students moving to the revising stages of adding transition words. We will be working with rough drafts again on Monday.

SKILLS:
Using multiple sources to research a topic.
Writing source citations and bibliography cards
Researching facts
Writing note cards
Writing informational text from note cards

HOMEWORK:
Read for 20-30 minutes 5 days each week/Book report-You should be working on your book reports as you read, adding information as you go along.
3rd nine weeks ends the middle of March; leaving only 2 1/2 weeks to bring total number of books read to 20. The state criteria for books read each school year is 25 books and we are almost there. (Some students have already accomplished this and more!)
