10/24/22 – ELA Dialogue and Quotations

Leave a comment

Today we covered quotations as we prepare for your 2nd paragraph in our persuasive writing unit which will be about customer testimonials.

Watch the videos to refresh your memory. Remember the steps:

  1. Identify the speaker tag
  2. Check if the remaining dialogue makes sense
  3. Add quotation marks around the dialogue
  4. Add punctuation to separate the dialogue from the speaker tag
  5. Keep in mind capitals in the appropriate places

10/19/22 – ELA Reading Book Talk Preparation

Leave a comment

For next week’s book talk (Next Wednesday/Thursday), be prepared to do the following:

  • Provide 2 sentence summary about what you have read so far.
  • Share 2/3 symbols, what you drew, and what sort of themes they represent in your story.
  • Add to what your classmates have shared about both, the summary and the symbols.

Participation matters. I will be assessing the quality and the deepness of the things that you share. Remember the comments that I shared with you during our brief intro book talks this week.
