Welcome back!Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome back to school! We have our typical Monday work today; Jumpstart Journal, spelling pretest for Unit 16 and time to work on our spelling! And I have lots and lots of things to pass back to you. Second order of business is our new unit. We are starting A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Before we start reading it, however, we are going to be looking at some information behind the story. Each of you are going to be participating in a group research project. This serves two purposes: 1. We are going to begin the process of learning how to do research 2. We are going to learn more about the history of Charles Dicken's time to better help us understand the context of the story 3. We are going to learn to take notes in different formatting styles Tomorrow and Wednesday we will be in the library working with Ms. Paganis to help us learn how to do research, and help us to put together our research projects. You will get your groups, and have two full days to get your mini-research project finished.
You will present these research projects as we go through the story A Christmas Carol and read it out loud in class.
