Using quotes in your writing

THIS CHART IS REALLY IMPORTANT. To put quotes in your writing,
you need all five parts (one from each column). And remember: (Whelan 34)

Unit Goal: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

Today's Goal: Read Chapter Five (It's pretty short). Begin to create your one-pager. 

The Plan:

1. Read
2. Homeless Bird Chapter 6
3. Quoting texts and writing strong paragraphs
4. One-Pager (on PAPER, using your slides to guide you.)

Reading Chapter SIX

You are expected to place at least two stickies for every chapter.
Do not put a sticky on the page unless you label it:
*Home/Family
*Perseverance
*Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
*Gender
*something else super important that you don't want to forget?

Reminders/Homework:

• Yo. At least HALF of you have lost 20 percent of your grade because you didn't turn in the recording of "This I Believe." What's up with that? We spent two days in class on that and you need to make it happen. (Click on that link to go to the directions)
• OF COURSE I will take it late! Just remember that you still have to try to do things on time!
• Continue gathering evidence for your one-pager. The due date has been changed.
• Your One-Pager will be due on TUESDAY, at the beginning of class. 
• TWO Achieve Activities (due tonight!)
• Teacher Choice: "Are You There, Leo?"
• One student choice
• Keep reading. TWO books due by March 15 (that's next Thursday)
