Section 1

Objective: Students will understand what they are responsible for after reading My Favorite Chaperone.

Warm-up

Log onto the responder. There is an assignment waiting.

Were you able to log onto your book at home?

Collect money. I would like to start the Vocabulary Workshop book Tuesday.

My Favorite Chaperone

At the end of this collection, students will write an expository essay focusing on the challenges immigrants face and the adjustments immigrants make.

You will be reading the story on your own, but as a class, we will be listening, pausing, and discussing the whole story. I expect you to read ahead and answer the questions on your own so we can have discussions.

Copy the Common Core Standards, reword in a group, and discuss as a class.

Homework:

I would expect you to read the story on your own and work ahead on the questions.

If you would like to type the answers, you can copy and paste the questions from this page, create a Google Doc, and share that doc with me, mrbozhb@gmail.com.

These are the Common Core Standards discussed throughout this unit. I will highlight which standard or part of the standard I will focus on each day.

CC.8.R.L.1 I will be able to cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

CC.8.R.L.2 I will be able to determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to the characters, setting, and plot; provide an objective summary of the text.

CC.8.R.L.3 I will be able to analyze how particular lines of dialogue or incidents in a story or drama propel the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provoke a decision.

CC.8.R.L.4 I will be able to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.
