"The Lost Week" Sept.28-Oct.2

So, not only was I out sick Monday and Tuesday, I was also out of town on Friday, so I barely saw you this week. Boo!! =( As a result, you completed most of your work this week in class with a substitute. Please click here to see a list of graded assignments that you completed in class. Below is a brief breakdown of what you guys accomplished. If you were also absent, please look over the assignments page and see me if you have any questions.

Monday 9/28 - You had the entire period to catch up on your reading (to page 100.) During reading, you responded to five guided reading questions and turned them in. Download the assignments page to see the questions and get them in to me this week if you were absent.

Tuesday 9/29 - Today you created vocabulary paragraphs in pairs using your six vocabulary terms. You also had some reading time and turned in an exit slip. Download the assignments page to view the questions.

Wednesday 9/30 - This was my only day with you this week. We spent some time getting caught up by discussing the reading and going over some important passages. Click here to see the discussion notes. The rest of the period was spent looking at setting in the novel and creating maps of the island using descriptions from the text.

Friday, 10/2 - You took your first quiz, which covered up to page 130 in the novel. Afterwards, you were given a KWL chart to complete at home and also some guided reading questions to consider as you read your homework, which was reading to page 144 over the weekend. The KWL chart will be turned in on Wednesday, 10/7. Click here to download a copy.
