Next Week: Week at a Glance

Sentence Fluency Assignment: How much do you care about your own learning?

I am going to make this a choice - If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. You make the choice on whether you think this topic is important enough to spend time on. If you decide to do the work, you can google 'sentence fluency'  to find more about the topic.

The Friday Message: How much do you value your education?

No other H/W tonight as you will have the review and revise sheet to do at home over the weekend.

A lot of people are learning that the more they do in class, the less they have to do at home!


Hopefully, you will never read non-fiction the same way after today's session. always think about:

• Text Structures
• Author's Purpose (Explain,  Entertain, Inform,  Narrate, Persuade)
• Text Features
• Selecting Evidence
• Interpreting Evidence
