Readers’ Workshop
We are continuing our study of Allen Say. In studying the works of one author we are
able to recognize common themes and trends.
We can consider how his books are similar, as well as the
differences.
Writers’ Workshop
Students are still working to finish up simile and metaphor poems
from last week, so we will study personification and onomatopoeia this week.
Personification is when you give human traits to something that is not human,
and in fact, may not even be alive. For example, the donuts called out to me. What you are really saying is that you were very tempted to
eat the donuts, but because they aren't alive, they can't actually yell at you
to eat them. An onomatopoeia is a word that
imitates the sound it is describing. For instance, boo, honk, sizzle, and pop!
Biography presentations are complete, and we are very proud of the
hard work that students put into this project!
Skills Block
Our spelling
homework and test will be based on List 19.
