Language Arts for 6-1/LaBarbera/June 1-3, 2010

1. On June 1, Tuesday, I will be attending a Language Arts Department meeting, establishing the guidelines for instruction of Language Arts for the upcoming school year. The substitute teacher has 4 pages of lesson plan instructions to follow.
a. Students must complete the writing of "Advice to Incoming Sixth Graders" in class. The written draft will be collected.
b. Upon completion of the essay, a timeline activity is assigned. Written comments may be placed on the back of the sheet. This will be yours to keep.
c. The Literature text book will be read after writing activities are completed.
d. All classroom rules and high expectations continue .

Ideas for the Summer:
Write lists to remind yourself of important tasks.
Write in a journal daily . Express your feelings and dreams.
Write letters to friends online or in penmanship. Follow the rules for writing a "friendly letter."
Write free verse poetry . Many of you explode with talent in this form~!!!!
Enjoy.
