Timothy Grade 5 ELA, 2018-2019 (Period HROOM)

Course Description

This course has two main purposes. First, I will assist you in creating grade‐level artifacts (proofs) to demonstrate your mastery of South Carolina’s Grade 5 English standards. Second, I will prepare you for the SC Grade 5 end-of-year exam. It is my job to teach you and facilitate your review of the procedures required to complete scholarly products, and I will provide you with feedback to help you develop a deep understanding of the skills required for exam success. You are expected to achieve Met or Exemplary marks on your end-of-year exam without regard to where you are beginning the year.

Happy Holidays! Work hard in class so you can enjoy your break. :)

It's never a bad time for writing! Holidays give us an awesome opportunity to challenge students to write about holiday experiences in new ways. This question will be completed in class today. Clips of Elf and other classic Christmas movies will be show to allow students to draw comparisons between the non-print texts.
This image reminds you of all the key words, cues and phrases that give us hints about the purpose of a text. If  you see any of these hints while you are reading, you know (almost right away) what the purpose of a text is. 
 
The purpose of the text is NORMALLY the one for which you find the most key words, cues and phrases. Try this at home for yourself!
