Do Now: D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read.) If you do not have your independent reading book with you, then quietly get one from the classroom library. After reading concludes, please write a well-organized paragraph summarizing what you read today.
Welcome to the English 4/5's new blog! The theme of this course is Values and Beliefs in Literature.
In order to get started today we will discuss paragraphs and their similarities and differences to essays. There is a handy graphic organizer page to use if you need some assistance. We will write paragraphs in groups and then finally alone.
Before you leave today, apply what you learned about M.E.A.L. and write a well-organized paragraph supporting one of the inspirational posters hanging in the classroom.
If you have not yet opened an Engrade account, you should a.s.a.p. You can watch this tutorial to see how to do it after you get your access code from me. Alternatively, give me your email address and I will email you an invitation.
A reminder that you are responsible for grading your "Where I'm From" poem using the rubric that was given to you last week along with the assignment. If you lost this paper, you can get it either below or by clicking on the assignment on Engrade. You will not get credit for this project unless you evaluate your poem using the rubric. Be sure to include supporting comments to your score.
