« Welcome to the Write~Spot! | Main | Language Arts Write ~ Spot! »

Thank you for visiting your language arts blog!

This week you will continue the research process and move forward with your investigation of your disaster topic.

MONDAY:

You will carefully view the rubric for your written report; and for homework you are to have it signed so your parents are aware of the due date for your research paper.

Be sure and write the due date on the research calendar I provided.

Today, you will write a reflection note to let me know how you are doing on the research process.

Books on disaster topics may be checked out, beginning today; they may be checked out for one-day, only, and they must be returned before you go to your homeroom the following day. This will make the books available during the week for students in other classes. The following schedule will be used for checking books out:

Monday: Period 1
Tuesday: Period 2
Wednesday: Period 3
Thursday: Period 4

Students in any class may come during locker break, at the end of 4th period; if there are any books available, you may check a book out—regardless of what period you are in (First come, first serve).

Spelling Quiz is today (Lessons #13 and #14).

You will do Daily Oral Language grammar and punctuation study, today; the test will be on Thursday. Note this in your agenda.

You have a "certificate" for nonfiction article reading to have signed over the weekend. The certificate, if signed by your parent(s), counts as one book toward your 25~Book Goal.

You have an assignment in your literature textbook today:

Read and take notes on the article "Reader Beware" on page 502~505.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION:

How does the information from this article pertain to the research you are currently doing?

On page 504 of your literature textbook there are sites listed for you to explore more about "Evaluating Internet Information."

TIP:
Take advantage of opportunities to show you are the type of student that goes beyond the call of duty.

THINK:
How can you SHOW you went to one of the sites and read the information?

REMEMBER:
Take charge of your KNOWLEDGE WEALTH and BUILD YOUR ACCOUNT!

TUESDAY:
Today's primary lesson with be about parenthetical citations.
See how sharp you can be; build your personal background knowledge by investigating the topic on your own. If you bring materials in and have read and studied this topic, I will have some small groups working independently on a special project. You must have a wealth of knowledge, however, to do this. :)

Check in tomorrow for more information about this week!

WRITE~ON!
