Rehearsing our Beatles song: “HELP!”

In Reading and Language Arts, our class voted for the 2nd time a “Table Representative” to lead each one of our 4 table groups. We chose the person who we trusted the most to be in charge. Table 1 = Kosta, Table 2 = Rebecca, Table 3 = Nefeli, and Table 4 = Teddy B.. (“Just a Word”): this Table Task was a challenge in not just our knowledge of words, how to build them, but most importantly leadership, collaboration, and problem solving to be the Top group. Each table had a letter, that would be the start of each word that they thought of to fill 6 different category boxes (Adjectives, Proper Nouns, Synonym Pairs, Words Ending in -Ment, Antonym Pairs, and 8 letter words!) Whole Year Writing Progression: after completing our Bluebook Reflection, concerning our Social Studies (Asian Art Project), we looked back at the first month of our writing prompt submissions in our Writing Journal.

In Social Studies, our class continues to learn, rehearse and improve our performance of “Help” by The Beatles, for the End of the Year Show. (My Asian Art Project): Bluebook Reflection was an opportunity for us to share what we have learned about our the Asian country we chose, the specific topic that we were curious about, and what this project has taught ourselves. We personally scored our own writing sample using a detailed Rubric of what is essential for quality Nonfiction writing: (Facts, Analysis, Adjectives, Length, Penmanship, Grammar (Punctuation, Capitalization).
