In reading last week, we read Gleam and Glow. and used it to identify and explain the roles and functions of character's impact on the plot. Later in the week, we introduced different forms of third-person points of view in stories.
In writing, we began developing a personal narrative, as well as, understanding and using irregular and active verbs.
This week, we will read The Stranger and use it to describe incidents that advance the story and explain how each foreshadows future events.
In writing, we will continue drafting and creating a final copy for our personal narrative. Students will use a writer's checklist to make sure that previously taught conventions are applied correctly.
