Procedural Writing

Our next Language Arts unit is how to write a text to inform the reader on how to something or make something! Procedural writing is a task that involves steps and descriptive words so that anyone can complete the task at hand. We will be writing an instruction manual, recipe and science experiment during this unit to prove we are awesome writers!!! Good luck guys and if you make these Sweet potatoes let me know and bring some in! They look delicious!

Summary Grade 6 FI

This is one of the best movies and scenes of all time! But please be careful not to include all of the details and make sure to state the main idea of the scene. Hint: What is Jack trying to do? You must include the details that are necessary for a complete summary of the scene and not add to many. Hint: This clip has a lot of details so be carefull! Good luck and make sure to look in your notes from class to help you summarize this great movie scene!

New Star Strategy for November: Predicting

Can you predict who this is and what he has done in this world to make it a better place?

Predicting can be used to help readers pick a book or make an educated decision on a person or book title. Students can use pictures, book titles and other features to help them predict what a reading may be about. This month students will be getting their Home Reading put in their duotangs backwards. This gives them an opportunity to predict what the biography is about before they read it. Good luck!
