I alluded to the station work in a previous post. Here's the more updated version of things now that Outdoor School is underway:
Because our copies of Steve Jobs' commencement speech were incomplete, Mrs. Krem made three copies of the ending so that we can finally comprehend what he was talking about. These are on the front board.
Students then use Jobs' speech to analyze how big ideas are introduced through topic sentences - and how it contributes to his overall message.
Here, students are working on foldables to review sentence structure. These will be used in our culminating discussion about Jobs' speech and analysis of our own writing (hyperbolizing the first day of school).
Our last station focuses our narrative prompt. Students take what happened on their first day and exaggerate it. My example was that I left my lunch at home. I exaggerated that by turning it into Mr. Furajter eating my oreos and leaving me only brussel sprouts.
Students also chose their book for Bookclub, and had an opportunity to read.
Busy week!
