Independent Reading (This is week #17)
Focus this week:

Good readers plan for the next book(s)
|
Good reading habits:
|
I have reading plans for Winter Break.
I record my book choices in "My Reading List". |
Work Time:
|
* Read for 20 Minutes
* Reading Conferences
|
Unit 3: Authors as Mentors
Essential Questions:
| How will my resolution reveal my theme? How will my resolution resolve my conflict? How will I leave my reader with closure? |
Standard:
| W.1.a Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective techniques, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. (CCSS:W.6.3) R.1.b.i Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. (CCSS:RL.6.4) |
I will know I’m successful when...
| I can write a short story where the conflict is resolved, loose ends are tied up, and the reader has a sense of closure. |
Mini-Lesson:
(What Mrs. Brownell is going to teach us) | View this Prezi: Good Endings
Please do NOT start your story with "One day..." Use a bold beginning to hook your reader!
|
| Work Time: |
Today, we will continue to improve our short stories by revising the endings (falling action and resolution).
|
Debrief:
|
Book ends: Do you have a bold beginning and a a strong ending?
|
Homework:
|
Reading at least 30 Minutes for your "40 Book Challenge" (Even on Saturday and Sunday!)
