THURSDAY, JUNE 14: You don’t have to change a thing. The world could change its heart. I think of the world as a family. When one of us is suffering, we must all pitch in and help.” Mahatama Gandhi summed up his philosophy of life with the words, “My Life is my Message”.Describe what makes you who you are today. How will your life become your message in the future? What do you think are the most important things to remember to follow in the years to come? What do you think are the most important things to do in your life that will lead to your happiness? Now, write an essay explaining what will make life good and meaningful for you. You MUST mention at least two other texts (fiction and non-fiction books, songs, poems) that helped you grow your perspective. Add specific text-based evidence to support your thinking. CONSIDER THIS, TOO: There are many books that talk about the meaning of life. Your teacher talks about living a “good” life. What do you think are the most important things to remember to follow in the years to come? What do you think are the most important things to do in your life that will lead to your happiness? Now, write an essay explaining what will make life good and meaningful for you.

Period One: I can determine cause and effect relationships by analyzing the decisions of historical figures and the aftermath of their decisions. (The slideshow-presentation has been uploaded for the students in the classwork section of our website).
Essential question: How does understanding the relationships among individuals and historical events help readers understand text?
RI.5.5
Compare and contrast the overall structure (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information in two or more texts. You will continue working on pages 22-24 in Super Heroes and focusing on cause and effect relationships.
How will my learning be assessed? by my ability to identify cause and effect based on the decisions made and the consequences of those decisions.
REVIEW SLIDESHOW-PDF FILE AND Read any previous pages in the text and determine the cause/effect relationships.
MAKE SURE YOU FOCUS ON PAGES 22-24, TOO. HAVE AT LEAST TWO CAUSES-EFFECTS (OUTCOMES-RESULTS).
Why do you think that authors use the cause/effect text structure when writing text?
Wrap up-exit slip: How does determining the effect of a historical figures actions help you understand their impact on important events?
Period Two: https://newsela.com/read/amazon-grocery-store/id/39791/
I can deepen my understanding of current events by creating a summary, and then “taking a side” to the argument of: Is technology more helpful or harmful for people as they shop? What are the risks and benefits?
Prior to reading, with your partner: Think of a shopping experience you recently had and consider what make an enjoyable shopping experience compared to a frustrating one. As you read, highlight the 5 Ws of the article and make an annotation explaining your answer to each question: Who is affected by these new stores? What is special about this new way of shopping? Where is this store? When might more stores like this pop up? Why is this type of store important to know about? Also, add the how--briefly describe how the process works.
Edit the Write Prompt: Use your 5 Ws highlighting and annotations to create a 5 Ws summary of the article.
- Author's Purpose: What does the author want the reader to think about the topic? What makes you think that?
- In the second section it says, “This is because many things can be bought cheaper at Amazon. Especially compared to physical stores people shop at.” Word Choice: Is this word positive, negative, or neither? Why did the author choose to use this word here?
- In the next subheading, the author notes, “By lunchtime on day one, Amazon's hope to have no lines was not successful. There were at least 50 people waiting to enter the store. The line stretched around the corner.”Argument: Why
- Why did the author include this information? What does it show about topic overall?
- Answer the following questions and try to include text-based evidence to support your perspective: Is technology more helpful or harmful for people as they shop? What are the risks and benefits?
- Period Three: Math: I can deepen my knowledge of fractions by completing number riddles and by creating my own for a partner to solve.
- Period Four: Lunch
Periods Five and Six: Clubs. Students may work on any work they did not complete in the morning or prepare for book clubs.
Period Six: I-ready Reading or Math
Period Seven: Science prep

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29: GOOD MORNING. I AM NOT FEELING WELL. PLEASE DO YOUR WORK, FOLLOW THE THREE B'S AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.
Period One: Band-Read chapters 6 and 7 of Night of the Spadefoot Toad. I can deepen my understanding of a character's traits by making inferences about the character.
We have discussed creating a theory about a character. Having a theory in mind helps us really understand our character and look for clues that match our theory (and sometimes oppose our theory).
Today we want to teach you that as readers you can use inferences to help you understand your character's traits and better support your theory.
Inferencing is when you combine text clues & evidence with what you already know to come up with your own theory-idea about the text.
Reflect and respond in your reading notebook as thoroughly and thoughtfully as possible. WILL BE CHECKED AND ASSESSED BY MRS. DAVIS TOMORROW SO MAKE SURE YOU FINISH:
1.What does Ben learn about Mrs. Tibbets throughout Chapter 6? In what ways are Ben and Ms. Tibbets alike? Use evidence from the text.
2.Why does Ben call Toby? What parts of the text reveal the reason?
3. What challenges has Ben been facing? How does he respond to these challenges? Use text evidence to support your thinking.
4. How does Ben find comfort after a day that didn't go well?
5. Share your own HOT question and reflections about it.
Continue reading your own independent books. As you read, do the following:
- As you read, look for moments of character thought, feelings and actions.
- What can you infer about your character based on this moment?
- Stop and jot your inference on a post it and then place in your reader’s notebook
- OR:
- Work on developing inferences of your character by stopping and jotting when you find out more about your character.
- Keep your theory in mind that you had developed.
- Note moments on post its when your character acts, feels, or says something that is not aligned with your theory.
Period Three: Music prep

Then, students will find a partner. Have them discuss the following:
They should compare checklist answers and whether or not they think this source is credible.
Whole group
Discuss with students the experience of using the checklist to check the credibility of the source. Ask students what about the checklist they would change or if anything should be added. Revise the checklist as a class.
