Language Arts:
Today in Reading we started our new story for the week. This week our genre is a biography talking all about Ben Franklin. As a result, our weekly homework packet looks a little different this week. The students are asked to use the resources in class and during their library time tomorrow to find a biography that they would like to present starting next Monday. They will be presenting at least 10 detailed facts about their person in chronological order to the class. They may use a note card and they will be scored using the rubric that was attached to their weekly homework packet. This is a way to ease into the Listening and Speaking standards slowly and to get the students comfortable speaking in front of a group.
Vocabulary words: hilarious, convinced, independence, dizzy, whirlwind, nowadays, (come in) handy
Common Core Vocabulary: biography, idioms, alliteration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, figurative
