This Week in Language Arts

I will use this section to post what we are covering in class. I will give a brief description of the skills being covered for each subject.  I will update my website at the end of each week or on Monday with all of the week's information.  :)

Reading: This week, we will be reading the story, "Paul Revere's Ride".

Comprehension Skill: Sequencing and Making Inferences

Vocabulary Words:opposite, phantom, mast, tide, tread, stealthy, sentinel, dread, impetuous, tranquil, skirt, aghast, defiance, peril

Every story, students will have 5 Amazing Vocabulary.  They will need to define the word, write a sentence with the word, give a synonym and antonym, and give the part of speech.  They will do this in class using their Oxford Pocket Dictionary/Thesaurus.  After 4 stories, we will have an Amazing Vocabulary test.  They will be able to use all 4 sheets to help them with the test. 

Amazing Words:pleased, surplus, constant, value, comrades
