L.A. Final

Goals:
1. Can write a letter using the correct form and vocabulary
2. Can support an argument when writing
3. Spells and understands a variety of vocabulary words
4. Understands parts of speech
5. Comprehends non-fiction and fiction and can apply reading in a variety of contexts (FINISHED!)
6. Communicates and speaks in English fluently (FINISHED!)

FIRST: On your final, you will have between 20-30 spelling words. This will be like a normal spelling test. Then you will use those spelling words to do a fill in the blank. For practice, see my posts about spelling!
(I will put up the answers to the fill-in-the-blank tomorrow!)

THEN: You will need to label parts of speech. Please see my post with all the videos! I will put up a practice test tomorrow! : )

NEXT: You will read a small section that has opinions and facts, and you need to label the facts and the opinions.
For example...
I think vegetables are the best food in the world. (Opinion)
Vegetables are very nutritious because they have vitamins and minerals. (Fact)

AFTER THAT... You will need to write a letter to Stellita. We will practice in class on Thursday, but here is the letter prompt:

Please write a letter to Stella Ruiz. It should be PERSUASIVE. I want you to write a letter to ask Stella if we can take the bars off the windows of our classroom. You need to write 3 paragraphs in a letter form using facts to support your opinion. I will be grading your ability to support your argument (opinion) AND your ability to write a letter. That means I will grade your grammar, spelling, punctuation, form, and content. (If you would like to change something else at school and want to write a letter about that, talk to me.) I AM GOING TO GIVE THESE LETTERS TO STELLA, SO THEY NEED TO BE GOOD LETTERS!!!!!!

That's all. You'll have 2 hours to take the exam (after technology). Before that we will review for SCIENCE!!! (Your science exam is TUESDAY!)
