In reading class this week, we have gone over the answers to the first benchmark test that was taken on 9/9/09. This test included the passages on "Allison's Gift," "Mikhail's List," and the newspaper article on Luis Jimenez's alligator sculpture in El Paso. Make sure you understand all of the correct answers on this benchmark. It is very important.
Today (Thursday 10/1) we will begin discussing non-fiction, which is based on fact. We will review some common factors that characterize non-fiction, such as subheadings, pictures, and captions. Next we will read a passage from the Read XL book on page 166 titled, "Doctors Without Borders." After reading the passage aloud and silently reading pages 170 - 171, students will complete the questions on pages 172-173, Talk About It, Comprehension Check, and Vocabulary Check.
Tomorrow we will go to the computer lab to begin learning how to use the program iMovie. Bring your flash drive with pictures on it!!!
You will receive 50 points on Friday for bringing your library book to the computer lab. You will receive another 50 points for having your KMS book completely filled out for this six weeks. These two grades will be combined together for 100 points.
Please continue to read your library book and work on your AR goal.
