Monday, November 10th

Lesson Objectives - Students will generate and share visual representations of the words found in Vocabulary Unit 5. They will then present their own peer interviews based on last week's analysis of the media sample.  Finally, they will start analyzing the author's use of imagery and figurative language from the stort story, "The Latehomecomer."  This is another model we will use when students develop and write their own personal narratives for the next Performance Task.

Homework - Students should continue reading the book they will use on the November RRS.
