Reading
We send home our first STAAR-like homework on Tuesday. Students will have until Friday to read the poem, jot down notes and answer questions. We will check the answers and use the poem for discussion in class on Friday.
Writing
We will continue to look for similarities and differences as we move from writing narratives to working on expository pieces. Students will create their first kernel expository essay (pre-writing) on the topic of something they couldn't live without!
