We are quickly working toward our second scrimmage, which will be next Thursday. The scrimmage will cover the following standards (reviewing some from the last scrimmage):
- RI.5.1 Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.We have practiced this a lot in class. This overlaps with characterization and the indirect/direct characterization we worked with two weeks ago. We've discussed making inferences about a character based on what they say and do, and we've done this together on the white board with a character from Hidden Figures, Dorothy Vaughan.RI.5.2 Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text.Both classes will have summarized several chapters of Hidden Figures out loud and in writing. They will have to summarize a passage from Hidden Figures for their scrimmage.RL.5.2 Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.This is a review from last week, but will also be applied to Hidden Figures. We will be 9 chapters in, and we will be able to see several themes unfold already.
