WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14

LA - Learned about writing a report. Discussed how to choose a topic, research the topic, take notes and write the report. Wrote a report on squirrels (the difference between notes and the report is that the report needs to be in complete sentences.) This would make a good writing sample. Reviewed the stories that they've read in this unit so far and took assessments on character, setting and plot. Setting is still a term they need to remember - it means where the story takes place. Character is who the story is about and plot is the action of the story or summary. They did well with the assessment but they still need reminders to slow down and read all the answers before choosing the best answer.
