ELAR WEEK: March 4 - March 8

Reading Workshop: 

This week we will begin Part 1 of our Performance Task for Unit 5. Students will begin reading 3 different NF Sources:
-It’s a Cold (Hot, Dry, Dark) Cruel World! (Source #1)
-Animal Architects (Source #2)
-Don’t Step on the Ecosystem! (Source #3)

*Note: Performance Tasks often serve as a 60% grade.

Students will take notes as they research throughout all three sources, then respond to 3 questions.

We will also continue to work with Paired Passages using different genres to compare and contrast ideas in texts.

This week students will continue to use the writing process as they respond to prompts/ or creatively write.
