ELAR Week: Sept. 4 - 7, 2018

Reading Workshop:

This week we will look at Literal, Interpretive, and Evaluative questions, while continuing to tie that into Author's Purpose.

Literal Questions: Questions whose answers can be directly stated and found in text.

Interpretive Questions: Are questions where the reader has to use details/text evidence to infer what is really being said, happening, or going to happen in determining answers.

Evaluative Questions: Questions whose answers/opinions are reasonable based on text evidence.

Mentor texts we will use this week as we apply our new vocabulary and learning:

"Eleven"
"Weird Wonderful Mrs. Becker"

Writing Workshop:

Last week we chose the one Small Moment we want to publish! This week we, as authors, will determine what we want our purpose to be in writing, and what we want the HEART of the story to be. We will begin drafting and working through the writing process with revising and editing over the next couple of weeks.
