Reading
In
reading this week we continued Point of View (POV). Together we continued to
read paired passages from the same event and discuss how we could identify the
POV. We also looked deeper into the passages and discussed questions we had
from the passage that gave us limited third person perspective. We talked about
when the POV is in third person the reader often has questions about why the
character is doing, feeling, or saying certain things throughout the story.
However, when we read the next passage from a first person POV students were
able to see how all their questions were answered throughout the reading. We
were able to feel like were in the story as opposed to being an outsider. We
also took time to look at pictures and photographs from different perspectives
and talked about the other possible points of views. Thursday students took a
formative assessment where they simply read short paragraphs and determined the
POV, and then today they took their cold read. Next week we will finish up POV
with writing constructed responses.
We
are also continuing to read Scar as our read aloud and discussing how
the POV impacts how information is delivered to the reader. J
ELA
In
grammar this week we reviewed similes and metaphors. This is review from second
and third grade so we didn’t have to spend a lot of time on this. We reviewed
some Smartboards and talked about pictures that showed both types of figurative
language. Students came up with their own similes and metaphors for the
pictures using “like” or “as” for similes and “is” for metaphors. We also were
able to play a Kahoot! Game this week…which
was a HIT! J
Students
are still finishing up the publishing stage of their narrative pieces. Next
week we will begin writing a poem from the POV of the turkey J
