The start of our new module has been great! Students have had a lot to share about Jackie Robinson as we learn some new things through our text. We focused last week on how a text can have more than 1 main idea using the guiding questions "Why does the author want us to understand about the topic?" and "Are main ideas x and y equally important to understand the text?" We also revisited summarizing, but this time with an informational text.
There will be a mid unit test on Tuesday. Students will be asked to identify two main ideas of a chapter in Promises to Keep and then write a summary for it. On Friday, they glued in notes for writing an effective summary. They will be able to use this on the test Tuesday and I will also have sentence stems on the board. One way they can study is to review those notes and their homework Monday night will be writing a summary for pages 10-17 as practice. Have a great week!
