This is the last week students will be required to complete reading logs. A
letter will be sent home the first week in December detailing the independent
reading program I will be using in place of the weekly logs. Students will
take their test on poetry Monday, November 23rd. Since this grade counts for
the first trimester, if you know your child is going to be absent the 23rd,
please let me know and I'll make arrangements for them to take the test this
Friday.
Monday: In class we'll finish "Season at the Shore" and will begin reading
and discussing memory poems.
Homework: Read and review poetry notes for upcoming test.
Tuesday: In class we'll read and discuss the poem "Oranges" by Gary Soto.
Homework: Read and review poetry notes. Brainstorm ideas for a memory poem.
Wednesday: In class we'll complete the review sheets for our poetry test. If
time allows, students will complete their "organizer" for their memory poems.
Homework: Read and complete classwork not finished.
Thursday: In class students will quiz each other as part of their test
review. Students will begin the draft of their memory poem.
Friday: In class studnets will complete the draft of their emory poem.

As we continue to work on our poetry unit, students are encouraged to review
the vocabulary in their notes.
Monday: We will be looking at alliteration in class. Students should read and
document this on their logs for homework.
Tuesday: We will read the poem "Season at the Shore" in class and discuss the
author's use of alliteration. Students may choose to write an alliterative
poem for extra credit. Any student choosing to do this optional assignment,
should make sure they follow the requirements on the handout.
Wednesday: No school; Veterans Day.
Thursday: Students will finish their work on "Season at the Shore". We will
then look at examples of concrete poetry. Students should read for homework
and/or work on the optional poetry activity.
Friday: Students will look at the use of onomatopoeia. Students should
complete their reading and logs for the week. Extra credit alliterative poems
must be turned in by Monday.
