6th Grade: November 2-6, 2015

Grade Level:
6
Subject:
Language Arts
Topic:
Reading Assignment - Realistic Fiction
Objective:
Students will be able to:
- Understand the difference between "dialogue" and "dialect".
- Describe what a character is.
- Infer what the author directly states or implies.
- Differentiate between complete sentences, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences.
- Differentiate between similes and metaphors.
Reflection:
- Students have finished reading "The School Story" by Andrew Clements. Since they've had an extended break, Wednesday was spent reviewing the plot and going over the practice vocabulary and practice problems the students had been assigned the week before.
- After reviewing, students will used these practice worksheets and the notes from our class discussion as study guides for the test, which was the following day. From discussions with the students, the class overall seems to have a good understanding of the text, as well as the key literary elements I wanted them to grasp from it.
- The review day probably would have been a lot more interesting if I had turning it into a game of some sort. That's something for me to think on and possibly apply to the text time they review for one of their reading assessments.
