Scribe for Monday 10/9, 1st Rotation

Hey guys, it's Amber and I'll be your scribe for this week!

Agenda for 10/9/12

• SSR
• Mini: Textual Evidence
• LC Discussions
• Class Share Out

     So today in Mrs. Ortega's, we started off class with the usual SSR.  We then put our SSR books away and Mrs.Ortega explained that we would be reading the story of the "Three Little Pigs." Five people volunteered to read a certain character's part (Ex: The wolf, narrator, Pig #1, etc.)  If you were expection the classic version of three little pigs, (I know I was!) then this grim version of the Three Little Pigs may have caught you off guard and taken you by surprise.  After we got through the story, Mrs. Ortega explained to us how to use Textual evidence. (Assignment #20 in our notebooks)  We then had to chose a certain trait a character had in the story and find textual evidence to support it. (Ex: The wolf is naive. The textual evidence to support this would be that the wolf fell for pig #3's tricks every time.)

     After the mini lesson, we went on to fill out another day of our membership grid.  The topic for today was, If you could have dinner with any deceased person, who would it be and why?  After our membership grids were filled out for the day, we then began our Literature Circle discussions. 

Reminders

• Don't forget to leave room for Assignment #22, Library Handouts which we will get when we go up to the library.
• Do LC Discussion Prep 5, Assignment #21 by our next LC discussions on Thursday.
• If you have recently finished a book, don't forget to inform Mrs. Ortega so she can count it toward our house total for most books read. We need that house point!
