The goal for the students is for them to be able to interpret a writer's message in a poem and then support their answers through cited evidence.

Questions 1, 2, and 5 are to be answered. 

Question 6 will be used as the exit ticket, data collected through Edulastics.

This will be used to reteach the same set of skill and objectives set for 7.RL.KID.1, but for now, they will be applied to informative written.

We will create GIST statements for each paragraph, crafting an objective summary in the process. We will then go on to answer questions 2, 4, and 6 are to be completed.

Question 1 and 3 will be used as exit tickets.  ]]> 2023-10-09 17:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2738536847 In-House RETEST CFA 10/20/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2738542914 The English Language Arts department will be reissuing the test from the district to assess student improvement after reteaching the standards and skills. They will have the entire class period to complete the test. (55 minutes for 20 questions)

The grades made on the test go inside the system AS IS and cannot be altered at all.]]> 2023-10-09 17:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2738542914 Mandatory Supplies: matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2738559106 Every day students need their 1:1 Student Devices.

Students who are present but do not turn in their work when prompted will only be able to receive 50% at the highest on any assignment regardless of how many days have passed since the assignment was due (excluding tests, students will be eligible to receive full credit on any test/quiz).

This file will be used all week, so feel free to download and save it as YourFirstNameYourLastNameLesson6Ready Read.

The lesson will consist mainly of an I Do. I will introduce the new PBO and deliver the information presented in the file on the introduction page. 

Once finished, I will check for understanding using two scenarios for the students to break down. Finally, an exit ticket will be the last thing of the day. ]]> 2023-10-10 12:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2739890827 7.RL.KID.3: Modeled Instruction 10/24/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740203772 After introducing the topic and lightly practicing a skill, we will continue using those skills over a text instead of a picture.

Students will annotate the conflict of the passage and through discussion, expand on how the setting and conflict interact with one another.]]> 2023-10-10 15:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740203772 7.RL.KID.3: Modeled Instruction pt2 10/25/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740260412 Students will annotate the passage by following the instructions of the Close Reading. Noting the plot events is a part of the standard, and this will help practice identifying plot events and their interaction with characters.

Students will then answer the single multichoice question that follows.

An exit ticket will follow to ensure comprehension of the day's lesson.

From there, we will perform the close-read annotations and then we will move on to the multichoice questions on the next page. The questions will be the exit tickets for the day.]]> 2023-10-10 17:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740400622 Exit Ticket: Interpreting Setting matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740454411 2023-10-10 18:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740454411 Lesson 6: Independent Practice 10/27/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2740471500 Students will be tasked with completing the Independent Practice.

The reading is 30 mins long, so it will be split into two 15-minute readings, played today and tomorrow.

After the first half of the story is read, the class will be tasked with starting on the NOTICE which assesses the 5w's of a story: the Who, What, When, Where, and Why. A BrainPOP file/paper will be given. For those absent, simply writing it on paper will suffice.]]> 2023-10-12 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744145330 7.RL.KID.3: Close Read the Text 10/25/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744160398 Once we finish with the second half of the reading, we will move into what is called "Close Reading" the text. We will analyze the setting, the conflicts, the plot, and how they all interact with one another.

The following portions of the text will be analyzed: paragraphs 1-7, 16-18, 70, and 82-90. 

1-7 will analyze the setting.
16-18 will analyze the internal and external conflicts
70 will analyze again the internal and external conflicts.
82-90 will analyze the plot events in the story.

There will be 3 tasks per portion: ANNOTATIONS, QUESTIONS, and CONCLUSIONS. A file will be created for those absent students. ]]> 2023-10-12 19:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744160398 7.RL.KID.3: Analyze the Text 10/26/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744232797 The Word file attached is the source material for the day. With this worksheet, we will analyze the text more closely, answering more specific questions, studying the interactions between the story elements, and practicing critical thinking.

Questions 1-4 will be done in class while number 5 will be done for homework and turned in separately. The file will save and open as a Word document. With Word documents, you may have to "enable editing" to begin typing on it. Remember to save your edits before exiting the window and uploading the document. If you would like to save the file as a PDF, simply go to "save as", click the box under the file naming section, and scroll down to PDF. It will then convert the Word document to a PDF file.

The homework file will have its box on CANVAS. Simply type the work within the blank space under the instruction and upload it.  ]]> 2023-10-12 21:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744232797 7.RL.KID.3: Text Questions 10/27/23 matthewspa https://padlet.com/matthewspa/p68u6uyxtqcfbf01/wish/2744240087 To wrap up the lesson, students will be tasked with answering 4 critical thinking questions about the passage. The Word file is uploaded and may be downloaded and converted to a PDF if interested. 

This will be an independently completed assignment! I must see what each student knows and how they think through questions. If we take an in-house CFA on Friday, this assignment will be done for homework over the weekend.

Late submissions will be accepted; however, 10 points will be taken as a late penalty from their overall grade. There will be no makeup for homework!
