Objective: By the end of class, students will read and interpret HOMS, learn new grammar and vocabulary and use laptops to create a visual representation of Esperenza using images and symbols.
DO NOW
HOMONYMS - words that sound the same and are spelled the same but have different meanings
BEAR (n) - the animal
BEAR (v) - to be able to tolerate
BEAM (v) - smiling excessively / VERY happy
BEAM (n) - a long plank - a beam that is used in building a house / or a balance beam in gymnastics
WRITE sentences for each of the four words.
Direct Instruction
Review answers to Little feet and RICE SANDWICH.
READ 46-52
NOW BRAINSTORM in groups...
Describe
Esperenza in detail - physically, emotionally and academically. What
does she look like? How does she feel (is she happy, sad, lonely, etc)? I
she book or street smart? How do you know (examples from text?)
Then create a collage of Esperenza including all of these details. You may use symbols and images that represent Esperenza in these three areas. Use at least 6 images on the one slide. Tomorrow you will be writing three paragraphs to accompany your vision (one para for emotional, one for physical and one for academic.)
Send to me so I can print.
Exit Pass
