This week I am asking that you be sure the students are taking time to read through the lesson they have created. Each student should have a manila folder with nine different lesson plans inside; the students should be taking that information and synthesizing it into four creative writing stories. The stories can be of any genre they want, folk tale, science fiction, poetry, comic book etc… What I do want them to do is take the material from the lessons and use it in an original fashion and apply the content in an original way.
Having these done by Thursday morning would be optimal for use as a tool to prepare for testing, but I am aware of the difficulty of writing four stories in such a short time, so I am asking for this to be finished by May 3rd. I will give time this week for students to work on these stories.
Please be sure to have your students at least read through and review the lesson plans and packets with notes to prepare for the Science exam on Thursday. Thank you for all of your efforts these last few weeks. I am sure the effort and time you put in won’t go unrewarded, and our students will benefit from the support in many ways.
