Conventions: Nouns and Pronouns
Concept Vocabulary and Word Study
Point of View Anchor Chart Assignment

Students studied context clues last week and worked on "Context Clues in Literature" and "Context Clues in Informational Text."  Both topics are due by the end of the day on Tuesday, September 17th.  Please note that students have an unlimited number of chances to improve upon their Study Island scores; they shouldn't settle on a low score.

We are going to do two Study Island topics this week: Literary Point of View and Pronouns.  These topics correspond with the skills that will be on the selection test.  Literary Point of View is due by the end of the day on Thursday, and Pronouns is due on Monday.

The "Two Kinds" selection test is on Tuesday, September 24th.
