We have started our last unit of study for this year. Students will read Assassin by Anna Myers and Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson. For the next several weeks, Literacy class will seem more like Social Studies. We will focus on how author's use point of view to influence events in a text.
Students will conduct research to write a multi-paragraph essay from the following topics:
1. The Great Depression
2. The Civil War
3. The History of Toys
Research and drafting will take place during class. Students can choose to conduct research outside of class. Students will receive a link to websites with approved content through Google Classroom.
Students will have one final Independent Reading Presentation in May. I will send out a Remind 101 when the due date is decided.
Currently we have 32 members of the 25 Book Club. Those students have read at least 25 books and completed a summary or test. I am incredibly proud of these students!!! Students have until the end of April to finish any summaries to become members. Teachers are working on the details for a end of the year reward party for Book Club Members.
