Week 6 Assignments

We are all Task 5 students now!  Yippee!!

Please bear with me as I continue to refine this Essentials process.  I am learning along with all of you some new methods and practices.  As I give suggestions and direction, remember to tailor them to your child's abilities.  I welcome your input and suggestions to help this become a great learning environment for your children. 

EEL

·      Daily Copying and Memorizing Charts A - H.  Copying charts is a great learning tool! 

·     Daily Practice Sentences (1-5) Analytical Task Sheet (1-5) -- Task 5 through the Compound structure only.

·     Reminder - Additional help for the Task Sheet is in a Special Section of Week 3.

·     Week 6 EEL editing exercises.

CHARTS - Students should be copying more than one chart each week.   They will memorize it over time, but this method will get more information into their heads in a shorter period of time.  As they memorize a chart continue to have them write it out once a week, then once every two weeks, and finally once a month to keep it in their long term memory.

IEW

Parents - Use proofreading marks on rough draft.   

Students -   Write a final draft of "Mayflower" paper and make two copies.  On the first copy include margin indicators, on the second copy illustrate it and turn in.

·     Be sure to make all corrections indicated on your rough draft. 

·     Add:   the sentence openers ( 2, 3, & 6), and a creative title from your clincher (final sentence). 

·     Mark paper in the margins as instructed on one copy.

·     Illustrate your final draft without margin notes - turn in.

·     Follow the checklist on pg.35.

·     Each vocabulary word used earns a pebble; Prize for the most vocabulary words used.
