5th Grade humanities
Welcome back! This week, learners will first have a publishing party to celebrate their hard work on their First Amendment freedoms argumentative pieces. Then, leaners will transition into their final writing unit for the year: (fictional) scary stories. This week, learners will engage in the brainstorming and planning process for their stories. To begin with, they will read example scary stories and reflect on what elements of the stories (setting, descriptions, dialogue, action, suspense, etc) makes the stories engaging. Then, they will plan/develop the characters, setting, problem/solution, and main events of their scary story.
Learners will also familiarize themselves with the Smarter Balanced Assessment through practice ELA tests. These practice assessments are not scored, and are used to help learners understand the testing format and tools that are available to them.
