Week of October 27th

During the upcoming week, students will be completing background building for an upcoming story entitled "Lenny's Red-Letter Day".  They will also be introduced to new vocabulary and work to learn the meanings of the words through the use of Quizlet and Blooket.  We will then begin the process of annotating the text.  This process will be scaffolded. We will begin working as an entire group, and eventually, students will collaborate with a partner to complete their work.  Each learner will be encouraged to make inferences, search for examples of symbolism, identify various perspectives, uncover themes, and pinpoint ethical issues within the text.  I am looking forward to observing some great thinking this week!  Have a great week!
