Writing: fantasy

Authors often learn from other writers and use specific pieces of writing as their mentor text. Today you will explore a story that will become a mentor text for us, map it out on a story mountain and look closely at the elements of fantasy writing. This is a two day assignment, as there are several parts. 

  • Day 1
    • Watch the introductory video
    • Check your writing folder for the Slides called, “Luciano-Mangan Imaginative Narrative #3″ Complete your work in these slides, as they are in your folders, not shared.
    • Read/Listen to The Paper Bag Princess
    • Complete the Story Map for The Paper Bag Princess on Slide #5
  • Day 2
    • Re-read or re-listen to Paper Bag Princess if necessary
    • Add your thinking to the Elements of Fantasy Padlet 
      • Record your first name and 3M on your jot.
      • Connect your ideas to others that are similar
    • Answer the reflection questions on Slide #8

social studies: Secondary Sources

There has been a lot of talk about primary sources the last few weeks. But what about secondary sources? Aren’t they pretty great too? Watch today’s video to explore what makes secondary sources so useful. 

Complete the Task Cards project we started last week. Read each card, determine whether it is a primary or secondary source and record your answer on the Recording Sheet. Then check your answers by scanning the QR code using a smartphone camera. Show us your Recording Sheet either on your May E-Learning Slideshow or on the Seesaw assignment. 

If you have your old recording sheet, feel free to just add to that one instead of starting a new one. 

just for fun 🙂

smart Fact

On this day in 1927 Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, NY, flying the “Spirit of St. Louis” on an epic flight from New York to Paris. It was a milestone in flying aviation history. He completed the 33-hour, 30-minute flight and landed at Le Bourget Airport, Paris on the evening of 21 May. The Spirit of St. Louis is an artifact that is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Watch this video to see Charles Lindbergh’s plane being lowered to the floor of the museum to be inspected and a plan made for preservation.

READING: BOOK CLUBS

Continue reading your agreed upon book amount and create a NEW BINGO board activity. Please be sure to tell us what book you are reading and which activity you chose. Post your activity on the Seesaw assignment assigned to you.

Bingo Board Challenge:

Since we have been thinking so much about setting with out work with fantasy, why not try a setting-based activity today?

5. Build the setting for the story. Use Legos, PlayDough, looseparts, blocks, whatever materials you have access to. 
10. Create a map of the setting in whatever medium you’d like: watercolors, colored pencils, chalk, pencil, markers, etc. 

23. Sketch your favorite scene with as many details as you can. Write at least one paragraph telling why it is your favorite.

writing: Fantasy

You don’t always need a long time to tell a great story. Today we are looking at a few Pixar animated shorts to study how much detail can be packed into just a few minutes. Watch these films and think about the communication that is happening in each one. How are the characters communicating with one another? How do we know? Think body language, facial expressions, sounds (how might you describe this sound?). How can this help to inform your fantasy writing? 

When you are done watching all of the short films, complete slides 6-9 that are placed in your Writing folder called, Pixar Study. You can add your thinking right on those slides, as they are in your own folder. Or, copy and paste them into your E-Learning Slideshow.

Math: elapsed time

Watch the video below to learn about elapsed time. Elapsed time is the amount of time that passes from the beginning of an event to its end. You will find the duration of a time interval using a clock face and a timeline as a tool. Timelines are a way to visualize what is happening as the hour and minute hands move around the clock face. You will also understand elapsed time better when going from A.M. to P.M. or from P.M. to A.M.

On workbook page 118 you may need extra space to make a timeline to help you visualize the amount of time that has passed.

Want something more? Check out these time resources:

social studies: All about me

  1. Watch the lesson about our exciting assignment today. 
  2. Collect at least one:
    1. Photograph
    2. Document
    3. Artifact 
  3. Bring these items to share at tomorrow’s Zoom.
smart fact

On this day in 2007 United States treasure hunters discovered a shipwreck off the coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The ship had a record haul of over $500 million worth of gold and silver. A shipwreck expert guessed that the wreck was that of the Merchant Royal that sank in 1642 off the Islands of Scilly. Treasure hunters travel far and wide to find what they are looking for. Nicholas Cage plays Ben Gates, a historian and treasure hunter in the movie National Treasure. It’s worth watching and so good, they made three!

reading: book clubs

Today during your break out session, you will be discussing your book choice and make a plan for your reading for the week.  As a club, we have to remind ourselves of our responsibilities to our book club partners:

  • Make sure you create a clear plan of reading assignments. During our class zoom we will be doing breakout rooms. You can schedule your reading assignments at our class time.
  • Work hard to complete the Padlet posts, writing thoughtful jots that reflect your deep thinking around fantasy. You will write your initials and the date. 
    Book Club #1 Padlet
    Book Club # 2 Padlet
    Book Club #3 Padlet
    Book Club #4 Padlet
    Book Club #5 Padlet
  • And MOST IMPORTANTLY: you are a positive participant throughout the book club experience. You practice:
    • Communicating with your book group about assigned reading
    • Good active listening skills
    • Complete your assignments, which include the assigned reading, no more and no less
    • Engage in positive book discussions
    • HAVE FUN!
writing: Fantasy

Famous authors engage in a process of Brainstorming and Collecting Ideas. That’s what today’s work is all about. While you may have a certain character or storyline in mind, it’s important that you continue to collect new ideas before settling on the final one. Today you will be using two graphic organizers focused on characters and settings. These will help you to stretch your creative muscles and formulate new ideas that will be collected in a notebook. 

First, watch this overview video and you will learn how important Brainstorming is to writing your best story.  

In your Writing folder on Drive you have the graphic organizers that Ms. Boyer’s mentions, as well as the Digital Notebook. To record your ideas for the day, please copy and paste from those slides into your own E-Learning Slideshow or print using this link: Graphic Organizers to print

If you prefer to record your ideas on Seesaw, there is an assignment for you called, “Fantasy Brainstorm 5/18.” You can record your ideas there if you would like.

Math: Telling time

Today you will practice reading an analog clock to the hour and to 1 minute.  Watch the video to learn different ways to read an analog clock.  Maybe you can go outside today and draw a clock using sidewalk chalk.  Can you make your clock into quarters?

CHALLENGE: Try all 3 different activities today (hop, run around your house, sit without talking) to feel how long 1 minute is.  Set a timer to 1 minute to help you. Was 1 minute longer than you expected?

Workbook Pages to complete:

Extra Ways to Practice Time 🙂 

  • Have fun and practice different times by looking at an analog clock and digital clock
  • Have fun playing this game with a sibling or family member. The game focuses on reading analog clocks to the hour and half hour.  You will need a die and 2 game pieces to play.
  • Here is a printable analog clock to help you understand the different parts of a clock:

Extra Time Games 🙂

social studies: primary source scavenger hunt

  • Today you will be investigating a text called, “Using Primary Sources” that has been assigned to you on Epic. Take your time, enjoy the book and along the way study the different types of primary sources that are explained to you.
  • When you are finished with the text, go back into it and go on a primary source scavenger hunt! Using the chart provided on Seesaw and on Slides, fill out as many spaces you can, determining whether the primary source you found was a photograph, document or artifact. Then answer the question, “Which one of these primary sources would you most like to see in real life and why?”

Slides to copy into your own slideshow if you don’t want to do it on Seesaw: Slides to Copy

Fill out the chart using this Seesaw assignment or by copying and pasting the slides into your new May E-Learning Slideshow.

 

smart Fact

On this day in 1980 Mount St. Helens located in the Cascade Range in Washington State,  erupted and blasted 1,300 ft off it’s top that sent hot mud, gas and ashes running down it’s slopes. The explosion sent plumes of dark gray ash some 60,000 feet in the air which blocked out the rays from the sun making it seem like night over eastern Washington. Learn more about molten rock and lava by watching this brief video.

Smart Fact

On this day in 1618 German astronomer Johannes Kepler discovers the third of his three planetary laws- his “harmonics law”. Kepler’s third law (the Harmonic Law), relates the orbital period of a planet (that is, the time it takes a planet to complete one orbit) to its mean distance from the Sun. This law states that the closest planets travel at the greatest speeds and have the shortest orbital periods. If this is his third law, what are the first and second you ask? Watch this NASA video to learn about Kepler and his “out of this world” discoveries.

On this day in 1787 Delegates gathered in Philadelphia to draw up the US Constitution. While the Constitution was the final result of this meeting, the delegates’ original plan was to re-write the Articles of Confederation (the first set of rules for our country) but that didn’t work out once they realized how many flaws the original set of rules had.

Science–Mystery Doug (Optional)

We loved gathering together at the end of the day to watch a quick Mystery Doug! I collected a few you might be interested in. Since there are no specials this afternoon besides the daily Library session, maybe spend some time today checking out a few of these fascinating mysteries.

smart Fact

On this day in 1767 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s first opera “Apollo et Hyacinthus”, written when he was 11 years old, premiered in Salzburg. I know Mozart has been featured in the smart facts section before, but can we just stop and recognize the genius that he was, having written his first opera at age 11. He was essentially a 6th grader when he did that. The Book of Henry, Gifted and Little Man Tate are stories/movies that feature child prodigies who struggle with their gifts and their desire to lead a normal life. Perhaps suggest one for your next family movie night?

social Studies- Primary and Secondary Sources

Today you will be learning about the ways we can study the past. Both primary and secondary sources allow us to learn, but what is the difference? Watch the lesson below to find out.
