Notes:
~I attended a conference yesterday. Students continued reading Rifka in class.
~Grades on last weeks spelling/vocab test were generally poor. Students must take the time to ensure they know the spelling and the definitions. Too many low spelling/vocab grades will drag down the minor grade average.
OM: What is Rifka's relationship like with Saul? Use details from the story to support your answer.
Rifka Progress:
Students in periods 1 & 2 should be in the vicinity of page 60 by the end of the day, with 8 response journals completed.
Period 3 should have about 50 pages and 7 response journals completed.
Students were given a packet of questions to be answered as they are reading. Answers should be little more than one, complete sentence.
Response journals will be examined tommorow for completeness. A minor grade will be awarded for completeness, neatness and editing.
Generally, students are finding the story enjoyable so far.
Lots of work was handed back today, including 6 assignments which were added to the student portfolios.
HW:
~Study spelling/vocab!
~Continue reading Rifka (see above for where they should be)
