Thursday, September 3, 2015



Announcements and Reminders:
                                                                 
There will be no school on Monday, September 7, 2015 because of Labor Day.

     We will begin the Cave Time schedule 
when we come back from Labor Day Weekend.

Get your grades up BEFORE we begin the Cave Time schedule (September 8?). You will want to have a colored slip so you can choose your activities during Cave Time!

                                             
School pictures will be taken today and Friday during your math class.                                                                 




Targets for Today:

I will spend time reading for enjoyment!
        Utah State Core Reading: Literature Standard 10 
   I will understand the difference between topic and theme.
        Utah State Core Reading: Literature Standard 2 

   I will tie in art with literature.
   I will listen and read along as our class reads a shared book.
       I will watch the development of possible themes 
       over the course of the text 
        Utah State Core Reading: Literature Standard 2 
        Utah State Core Reading: Literature Standard 10 




Today’s  Agenda:

     1.  Individual Reading --
         Write a brief response in your composition book (Reader Response)

     Include an answer to this:
          What do you think might be a theme in the book you're reading?


2. More about Theme:
A possible theme found in The Storyteller's Daughter -
     The ability to see the truth 
     is not a function of the eyes 
     but of the heart.

 

The Little Prince:  "Ce qui est essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
"That which is essential is invisible to the eyes."

Another possible theme:

Treachery can hide where it is least 
expected, even in the heart of one 
you love and trust the most. (pp. 38, 40)


3. Reading from The Storyteller's Daughter

Ms. Dorsey read from  page 43 to page 65.
