So, we meet again...

Good day to you almost 6th graders,

-I can evaluate author’s purpose, point of view, and effectiveness.
-I can analyze character traits and motives. 

Here are two of the LEARNING TARGETS we will focus on in our BOOK CLUBS over the next few days.  Good readers think about author's purpose while they read, and good readers think about how the author uses characters in the book to express their voice.  Pay attention to the dialogue in your books and think about what the author is trying to express.  

Here is a note from Wednesday's web log post.  Think back to that galaxy far, far away... 
"As for the WORK PLAN.  You will have one for this week that I have started for you.  You all will have another one for the next week.  Have a meeting TODAY and discuss what next week will look like.  Your work plan for next week will include the following:"

1. 2 Meeting dates
2. 3 Independent Reading/Work days
3. Assigned reading for the next meeting
4. 1 date for a blog post and response (this may be on a meeting date)

Please hand these into me as your exit slip at the end of class. 

Sincerely,
C
P.S.
Getting things done is not always what is most important. There is value in allowing others to learn, even if the task is not accomplished as quickly, efficiently or effectively." - R.D. Clyde

Take your time. Do your best and forget the rest.
