Monday 3/23/20

ELA: **Journal #7 (3/23/20) Choose a TV, movie, or book character you identify with....who is it? From which book/show/movie? How are you the same? How do you understand the character so well? Tell about what you have in common.

**Please be sure to turn in your DLP #24 on Classroom. I have posted a new one for this week (#25), which will be due NEXT Monday.

**Continuing with our writing project, we are going to take the next couple of days to focus on one or two body paragraphs per day. You will use your research notes to complete the organizers for each body paragraph. This will further help to organize your thoughts! (The worksheet is in classroom - Body Paragraphs: Main Idea and Details). You would do one of these organizers for each of your body paragraphs. They may be done in docs, or in your notebook/binder. You do not need to turn these in - this is a place for you to organize! Your topic sentences should already be written, and you may want to revise them when applying them to the organizer. At this point, you should provide two to three supporting details/examples to support the main ideas and explanations in each paragraph. Once the details are added to each paragraph, each should end with a closing sentence.

**We have a Zoom meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 10:00. You will find the link and code in classroom!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading: **Check your answers to the workbook pages - 155 (1-10) and page 156. They are posted in classroom.

**In your text, review page 292 - Vocabulary Strategy for Endings -s, -ed, -ing. Skim over the story you read on Friday - War Heroes in Stone (pg. 293). See how many of these endings you find in the story and how the endings can help you figure out word meaning. In your workbook, complete page 159. This is a review/practice for finding these endings in a story.

**This week, our story is different from any we have done up to now....it is a form of Poetry. This means it is more about the arrangement of carefully chosen words in lines that express thoughts and feelings. The lines may rhyme, and the rhymes may occur at the end of lines or in the middle of lines. However, not all poems rhyme. They might have rhythm, but no rhyming pattern. The focus is more on the sensory experience.

**Begin work on workbook page 16 - Poetry. As we read the poem, we will write down examples of Rhyme, Rhythm, and Words that appeal to the senses. Read just the first page of the poem - Page 296 in your Reading Street textbook, and write some notes on this workbook page as you discover them.

**We have a reading Zoom meeting scheduled on Thursday at 10:00. The link and code will be posted in classroom!

SCIENCE: This week will will continue our learning of Earth's resources and talk more about how living things use those resources. All living things are part of an ecosystem and have different parts to play in its success. Please read p 142-143 in your textbook, then complete the Google Classroom assignment on Ecosystems. This Wednesday, we will have a Zoom class from 10:00-10:30 - put it on your calendar (more details to follow:)

*Remember, if you still need a copy of the Shaping Earth's Surface homework assignment from the last week of school, please let me know. If you have completed it, but not shared a picture or typed answers yet, please get that to me ASAP. You may either send a picture of the completed worksheet or type the answers and send via Google Classroom.

  **Today, you will be continuing your writing - remember - I know it's tough to only write section by section, but don't rush through it - we will get it finished together! Keep your focus on the body paragraphs and be sure to add your planned details to the correct paragraph. You should have an introduction and at least three support paragraphs. These are made of the three subtopics you have already planned. 
For example:  *Topic and intro - I am researching "Strep Throat"
                                     *Subtopic 1 - Causes and Symptoms
                                     *Subtopic 2 - Treatments

         **  You should be finishing up your paragraphs this week. Introduction (with a hook!), three subtopics (with support), and a conclusion. All of the info pages can be found on Classroom. Start to put the paragraphs together instead of the three separate sections that we have created. Use transitions to make the connections smooth. Next week, we will revise and edit your work. 
         **  We will be working on this next week, but start to think of a way to share your project with us - you might want to create slides, a powerpoint, a poster, link video, etc. Hopefully, we will
be able to share them with each other once they are complete so that everyone has the opportunity to “teach” about your research.
         **  Have a good weekend!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading:  **  Today, I have assigned a Spelling Quiz on Classroom. Please complete the quiz and remember to submit when finished!
                  **  We have finished The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere - the poem and the play. There will be a test on Monday - review the practice essay question (listed on your study guide) as well as the skills mentioned and your vocabulary words.
                  **  For today, please read pages 318-321. There are a few poems - "For Peace Sake", "Two People I Want to Be Like", "Not In Vain", and "Strangers".  In these poems, the author's viewpoints are clear. After reading them, you are able to understand their feelings about a subject. Complete the questions in Google Classroom after reading them.
                  **  Please try to read over the weekend. Just read anything you enjoy!

RELIGION: If you did not finish yesterday’s assignment on Google Classroom, “Grace in Matrimony,” please do so today!  
For today’s lesson, we will explain our responsibilities for giving and receiving love in our families.  We will explain why the family is called the domestic church.  Please read p 152.  Highlight/ underline the following text on your page: “Grownups sacrifice many things to take care of their children.  They are happy to do this because they love their children. Children can show their love and gratitude as they grow up.”  
Also highlight, “A family can be called a domestic church….. Together members of a family form a community of grace and prayer.  They can be an example of Christian virtues and charity.”   
Please complete “Share Your Love” in your textbook.  
Update your Lenten Pathway: Help fold laundry/ put away laundry (or pray/fast/ give in another way:)

SCIENCE: You will be working again today on the Food Chain Activity that was assigned yesterday on Google Classroom.  
*This is NOT the same as the Food Chain Vocab Review which was assigned earlier in the week.
