5PA Update
During the upcoming week, students will be viewing the video of the story "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. We will compare and contrast the events in the story with those that occur in the video. Students will then return to a story entitled The Raft by Jim LaMarche. We began this story a few weeks ago and were unable to finish it as a result of other curricular expectations. There will be a new purpose for this text. We will use it to complete a literary essay that will focus on the change that the main character undergoes throughout the story. Learners will be exposed to the following terms: literary essay, thesis statement, claim and supporting evidence. Throughout the week, students will be observers as I model the process of writing a literary essay. Then, each learner will be expected to become an active participant by completing their own essay for the story "All Summer in a Day." This process will, most likely, take 2 weeks to complete.
