This week our students will keep learning that characters are the heart and soul of fiction. Without strong characters, fiction falls apart. One of the strategies that our students will be learning is that writers often study mentor authors to notice what other writers do that really works. One thing writers do is use actions and revealing details to show rather than tell about or explain the character. In addition, students will learn how to edit their work by rereading with great care and thinking about everything they know about grammar and punctuation. Last, we will have our first mini-celebration where our students will have the opportunity to share their stories with other learners. Arc of Study. Narrative Writing Checklist

Los lectores Continuarán estudiando todo sobre los personajes. Enfocandose en buscar evidencias qué demuestren que tan complicados pueden ser los personajes ( cómo se comportan en diferentes ambientes y/o relación. Por dentro y por fuera)

Lectores, mientras leen, piensen profundamente en el personaje principal. Descubre los deseos de tu personaje. Piensa también en la dificultades, o en lo que se interpone en su camino. ¿Cómo responde el personaje a esos obstáculos? ¿Tu personaje tiene fuerza oculta? Recuerda escribir ideas claras y fundamentadas, de manera larga y contundente, llenando una página.

Students will work in different story problems and situations in which they will take a closer look at multiplicative comparison working to understand what really means when we say that something is twice as big, three times as tall, and four times as many as something else. Students will respond by writing, sharing , and solving comparative statements and equations.
