This week students were introduced to the new unit and were asked to decide if Newsroom is a good fit for them. They were given their "empty book" and began to organize it. They put in dividers titled: Non-fiction, Fiction, Poetry, News, and Lessons/Resources. They were also given a worksheet to complete that will become the cover of their empty book. I will take their picture to put in the center, and then they were to write or illustrate 4 different things that represent them. They could be things that are important to them, or that they love to do or just something in general that describes who they are.
They were also given a Monthly Me to fill out, titled "My Story". This is something that should be enjoyable and helps me get to know them a little bit better. Finally, they were given a yellow permission slip to take home and discuss with you to decide if this class is a good fit for them. Whether you both decide yes or no, please fill it out and have them return it for their next class.
So, there are 3 homework assignments for this week:
Empty Book Cover
My Story pages
Signed permission slip
I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend! =)
