HOMEWORK: Tonight your child is coming home with a workbook titled THRoW for a reading response to complete by Thursday (only because Friday is a PD day). It will include a short 1-page story for your child to read and respond to. Students are to read the story and identify if the text is Fiction or Non-Fiction and explain why using the features below...I modelled what the homework should look like on the first two pages. Please follow closely. Use a ruler and red pen for underlining.
If the text is Fiction, students should find it has ...
- characters
- setting
- problem
- solution.
If the text is Non-Fiction, students will see that is might have ...
- facts and information
- photographs
- subtitles
- captions
- labels
- labelled diagrams
- key points
- charts
I expect the students to properly set up the page with a title, date and skipping lines for easier reading as I modelled on the first two pages of their THRoW books. Please have your child underline using a ruler and red pen.
Language Quiz: Thursday, we will have a short quiz on the 4 types of sentences, how to write a sentence, how to begin a sentence with a capital letter and end with the appropriate punctuation. I will send home our language duo tangs for review on Wednesday night.That's all for now!
