Your team was responsible for creating a game incorporating several units of vocabulary, assigned by Mrs. Faust. You were to use all words in all assigned units, at least half the words must be used in sentences (in context), the rest may be a combination of using definitions, synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech or other criteria. Team will demonstrate their game (demonstration skills graded separately).

After learning and identifying similes and metaphors, students will choose a poem or song and identify examples of figurative language in the poem or song.

You will choose three examples representing three different types of figurative language (metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, etc.) that we've discussed in class. You may create your own or use an example from a favorite poem, song, rap, story, etc. You will need to create three representations of these examples in some form (drawings, collages, words, etc...) You will need to include the type of F.L., its definition and the written example somewhere on your poster.

Students will demonstrate their understanding of expository text structure (comparison/contrast, cause/effect, sequence of events, problem/ solution, and description/list) They will read an article and find the correct expository text structure used. They will complete the appropriate graphic organizer for the text structure.

The student will demonstrate his/her knowledge of tone and mood.

Students will read a passage and write the supporting details and the main idea.

By the end of this lesson students will be able to identify their background knowledge and specific text clues that lead them to draw inferences. This will be assessed through the students ability to use the inferring equation BK+TC=I (Background Knowledge + Text Clues = Inference).

Every month the student will complete a book report on a library book at the sixth grade level. The student has chosen to participate in "Book It" this month. This option allows the student to complete a detailed report on a book of their choice. To receive credit the rubric must be attached to the top of the book report.
