Mrs. Moreno and I hope you all had a wonderful and restful break. Now it's back to business.
We are preparing for the ELA test (January 20-21). You will be able to use all of the strategies we have learned so far in class, plus the test sophistication strategies we are learning now, to excel on the assessment, which consists of reading comprehension, multiple choice questions, short answer questions, a listening portion with short answer questions, and an editing section.
We are also beginning a short but fun and beneficial expository writing unit, How-to-Guides. We will be evaluating how-to guides, including recipes, operating instructions, and other informational texts, and writing our own.
Readers' Sourcebooks are being collected Friday and will be graded according to the rubric. Please refer to the rubric to earn top points. Each time your Sourcebook is collected, you should show improvement and have corrected any previous weaknesses. This is the time to check that all your notes, classwork, and reading responses are complete and in order
Homework: Read/Respond Jan. #1.
