Week 5/20-5/24

Last week, students read the second marking period of Speak and created "Would You Rather?" situations for the vocabulary words, discovered symbolism in Melinda's art project, and analyzed universal themes.

This week, students will read the third marking period of Speak. They will create #BookSnaps for their vocabulary words and analyze different universal themes.

Week 5/13-5/17

Last week, students finished their CAASPP/SBAC testing in English (if they didn't finish, they will finish up tomorrow)! This week they will test in math. This means we will be on a block schedule Monday through Thursday (for the last time this year). 

I must say that I am SO EXCITED to actually be able to interact with the students again--I have missed our conversations, discussions, and the learning that occurs in the classroom. This week, we will continue reading Speak. Students will work collaboratively with their partners to create "Would You Rather...?" situations using the vocabulary words from the second marking period. Students will also continue to read and look for symbolism within the novel and theme development.
