Monday, November 18th

Reminders
Field trip tomorrow.  Students need to bring a lunch to school and a shirt they can wear while creating some art.

English

  • Read for 20 minutes tonight.  Read one of the linked short stories tonight, plus your personal novel.
  • Spelling Lesson 10 (test Friday).
  • Writing: Read one of the short stores that I put in the Writing section of Google Classroom (Mentor Texts for Short Story Writing).  Study it, and look at two things especially.  First, ask how stories like these tend to go?  Second, think about how this story may have grown from the writer's life.  What story idea might the writer have recorded in her/his writer's notebook to produce this story?  Write about these ideas in your writer's notebook.  Finally, spend 5 or 10 minutes looking at the story ideas you wrote in school today, and revise one of them in light of what you just read.

Math
Mean and Median handout.

Science
Invasive Species PSA due tomorrow (Tuesday, November 19).  We'll share our work on Wednesday.

Social Studies
Jot notes about Irish immigration (p. 26-27) plus Apply It #1 on p. 27.
