NEWSPAPER BOOK PROJECT example

MARCH 7-11th

CLASS UPDATE
In Reading our class kicks off an amazing book entitled Crispin by Avi. The setting of the book is in Stromford, England in the 1300's. Crispin deals with the theme of the "diamond in the rough" and some pretty intense situations...the Plague, Feudalism, betrayal, perseverance, and much more. This week's reading strategies and skill focus will be in Predicting Outcomes and Summarizing. Our Spelling Vocabulary will also come from this section so students should know the meanings and spellings of the words by the end of the week.

In writing we are learning how to write Limericks, a very challenging task for many o' wee lads.The rhyming pattern is: A A B B A. Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme while 3 and 4 rhyme together. The other tricky part is making the syllabic pattern match the same form.


-->

Template - A:

There once was a ______________ from __________________.

All the while s/he hoped _______________________________.

So s/he _______________________________.

And _________________________________.

That ___________________ from ___________________.

Template - B:

I once met a _________________ from ___________________.

Every day s/he _______________________________________.

But whenever s/he ______________________.

The _________________________________.

That strange ___________________ from ___________________.
