Learning Objectives

• Reading: The students will identify characters, settings, and important events in the story. The students will make predictions before and during the reading.
• Writing: Students will engage in opinion writing. They will choose an opinion writing topic. (Ex. best sport, favorite subject in school, Should students have homework?, etc.) Students will give reasons and examples to support their opinion. We will continue to work on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. We are also working on writing "juicy" sentences with adjectives, metaphors, and quotation marks.
