ELAR Week: October 29 - November 2

This week in ELAR - October 29 - November 2

Reading Workshop:
This week we will continue to wrap up the text, "Rumplestiltskin". Students have been working in reading teams to discuss the plot, characters, exploits, while also comparing/contrasting those aspects of the text. The 3 slides are due, Friday, November 2.

This week we will also move forward on our Performance Task (60%). This is where students apply what they have learned about plot and characters. Students will be rewriting the story, "Rumplestiltskin", looking at how changing, adding, or removing characters can change the plot. Students will decide if they want to partner within their team, or work in their teams to complete the task.
