A Day in 6th Grade Language Arts/Literature
W F
Writing/Sustained Silent
Students
use their d.o.l. notebooks to write down and correct sentences for grammar,
spelling, and punctuation errors. When everyone is done, two students come to
the Smartboard and make the corrections for the class to see. Everyone will get
a chance to correct on the Smartboard. Silent reading time is provided.
Students
will be using their language arts notebooks to take notes from the language
arts book, to write practice paragraphs, to complete homework.
Every
month we will complete a Quick Write, a creative writing exercise. We will
use these pieces to practice our 6+1 Writing traits, peer proofreading,
editing, and rubric scoring skills.
We
also memorize and recite six poems for presentation in class.
