Students – please answer the following question. Remember to use your initials as your signature and post before class next Wednesday.
Now that you have read a couple of biographies about a variety of famous people, please share a few characteristics or qualities that these famous people had that helped them make a difference in the lives of other people or our world.
Dear Parents and Students,
Yesterday students were given a lot of information for our new writing and research project for this quarter. I just wanted to check in with everyone to make sure that you are all clear on the breakdown of work over the quarter. I have tried to divide this large project into smaller pieces that students can successfully complete. Please let me know if you ever have questions or any modifications need to be made. I have a few students who still need to pick their eminent person. Please feel free to email me at taylorl@riverview.wednet.edu or call me at 425-844-4593. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of working with this incredible group of students.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Taylor
Dear PARADE Themes students:
Please remember that we have library next week and all students need to return their books in order to check out new ones.
If you are in the 4th-6th grade themes class you also need to bring the biography that you were reading for your literature group back to class so that another group can check it out.
Can’t wait to see all of you next week! Mrs. Taylor
Dear Parents and Students,
It was great to see many of the students on Wednesday. I am just sending a quick note to check in with the students. I would like to know how they are doing on the plethora of work that was assigned last week. Have they been able to find an eminent person they would like to research? How is their reading going? If they send me an email at taylorl@riverview.wednet.edu to reply to my questions, they can earn five extra credit points for next semester.
Pick one character from the two books that you have read for themes this quarter that you would like to be. Explain why you would want to be this character. You don’t have to pick a main character, it can be a minor one that you might connect with.Â
Please post your response by class on October 28th and be sure to use your initials as your signature.
Now that you have had the opportunity to read a couple of books about the Ancient Asian cultures, please compare and contrast these cultures with your own culture. Remember when we compare we are looking at how two or more things are similar and when we contrast we are looking at how they are different.
Please share at least two similarities and differences. Also, use examples from the text and your own experiences when explaining your ideas. You should also be signing your blog answer with your initials only and making sure that it is posted before class on Wednesday the 21st in order to get credit.
Now that you have read the first third of your literature circle book, please compare and contrast the new book with A Single Shard. Comparing means we look at how two things are similar or the same. Contrasting means that we look at how two things are different. Please give an example from the books showing one similarity and one difference.
Remember to sign your post using your initials and post your response prior to class on Wednesday.
Give your overall impression of the book. What are some things you liked about it? What are some things you did not like about it? Was there a specific character that your connected with? Please try to use one or two examples from the book.
Remember to use your initials with your answer and post before class next week.
Tree-ear makes this comment about Crane-man “He does not wish to be fed out of pity.” What do you think he means by this. Try to give an example from the text.
Remember to sign your response with your initials and post before class next Wednesday.
Crane-man cares for Tree-ear as if he is his son. What actions does he take to let the reader know he cares deeply about Tree-ear?
Remember to use your initials and post your answer before class on 9-30.
