- The period started with a quiz covering the content of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Since the quiz was very detailed, the students were allowed to use their homework questions during the quiz.
- After the quiz, we started a new grammar unit-Pronouns. The students complete Using Pronouns Correctly, pages 181-182, #1-19 odds, and Who & Whom, pages 185-186 #1-19 odds.
- We then reviewed A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by discussing the homework questions (packet pages 14-15).
- We then spent the rest of the period reviewing paragraph format. I returned the ...Caged Bird... paragraphs and I lead the students through an editing process. They colored each part of their paragraph a different color. This helps the students to see if they've missed a particular element, or if they have some details in the paragraph that are not necessary.
- Homework: VFA #27-28; Signed Homework Card; Redo/Rewrite I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Paragraph (Bring edited version and rewritten draft on Monday); Read Breaking Through (Reader pages 78-94)-DUE Wed. May 4; Read The Circuit (packet pages 27-28)-DUE Wed. May 4; Complete Chart for Breaking Through (packet page 1)-DUE Wed. May 4
