3. Explain your thinking and use text evidence from the story?

4. Go back and check to make sure your response makes sense?

Friday:

Reading Text/Anthology: 

  • Finish the yellow tri-fold pamphlet activity.

  • Think about what you think the “theme” or “big idea” is. Share with your parents or siblings if possible.

  • How do the characters’ thoughts or actions or ways in which the character changes help you determine the theme?

  • Read the paired selection, Make the Switch, pgs. 642-644.

    • First, read it aloud, then silently.

Social Studies

When you finish your work you can play the Oregon Trail Game!  Beware, this is truly old school, touch screens do not work.  You need to type in all choices and hit return. I’ll bet your parents know how to play!! This is only for study breaks and free times.  Do not spend more than 15 minutes on this if your daily work is not completed.   HAVE FUN—let me know how you do!
