11-14 (A Day) Happenings

I checked supplies and gave students a new seating chart. I handed out the Hurricane Packet. We watched a brief video on Hurricane Andrew and recorded and discussed thoughts related to Hurricanes. Students completed a pre-reading assignment and then we read A Hurricane's Humble Beginnings from the Hurricane! book. I shared some Content Reading Strategies. We watched a Brainpop on hurricanes and answered review questions in the packet. Students began reading On the Job for Editor-in-Chief (10), Meteorologist (18), Hurricane Specialist (24), Natural Hazards Planner (27) and Reporter (40). While reading these articles, students completed the worksheet On the Job--Expert Tasks Q & A. Students will complete this assignment during the first 10-15 minutes of the next class.
