Work as a class on the reading skill comparing passages. Together read and discuss as the students answer the questions for pages 116-123. Students will independently read the last 2 passages and answer the questions for pages 124-127. They will highlight their answers in the passage. This is homework if they do not finish in class. They will turn their work into the basket.
Tuesday
We will work on revising and editing from the Write Source materials. Using the Elmo to project pages 123 and 124 reviewing revising then do pages 130 & 131 reviewing editing. We will read the passages and do the practice questions together.
Students will work in groups of 2 or 3 to do the revising and editing worksheets pages 125 & 126 then 132 & 133 together.
Students will then practice using context clues when reading the passage In Search of Bigfoot and answering the questions. This can also be done in groups of 2 or 3. Students will read the passage aloud then prove their work by highlighting their answers.
Both assignments will be turned into basket when they finish. This is homework if they do not finish in class.
