In class this week we will be taking notes over and discussing two story devices, flashback and foreshadowing. We will use the short stories Lob's Girl and Jeremiah's Song to identify and explore each device to determine the effect of them on a reader's experience with the story. On Tuesday we will have a 20 question test over the vocabulary from the two short stories along with some comprehension questions. We will also have a comprehensive exam of many of the skills covered so far this year: fiction/nonfiction, characterization, inferencing, conflict, drawing conclusions, and theme. Parent-Teacher Conference
My available conference times are a little different so I wanted you to be aware!! I will be in my classroom from 3:30-5:30 Monday and from 3:30-6:15 Tuesday. Communication is very important and I want to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. I would be happy to meet with you before school, during my plan, or after school on another day if my altered time causes you to miss seeing me. I can also do an e-mail conference, just request that by emailing [email protected] I can be reached by remind message on your phone...OR if you would like for me to give you a quick call I would be happy to do so, just return the note handed out Monday in class. Progress reports will also be handed out Monday and will need to be signed and returned. We’ve gotten off to a great start this year and I appreciate your support.
