6A Notes: This is homework for the grade 6 class I teach.
1. We worked on correcting Dialogue punctuation today to be used in the Pourquoi stories and all stories afterwards. #1 on the 2.0 sheet should be done for class tomorrow.
2. MMS pp.54-55
3. HDI Social Studies presentations continue this week.
* It is necessary to share your slideshow with me before school starts so that we can conduct the presentations.
We discussed in class what would be necessary for a good presentation:
- "Active Slides" delivery (not reading the slide verbatim to the class).
- Guiding questions (about 2 per slide).
- Adding extra information that is not included on each slide.
- Pointing out the key details on each slide. These should be about 1-3 details per slide.
- Eye contact and verbal expression.
Some independent rehearsal is necessary.
a) 20 minutes of reading.
b) Short Story assignment group drama presentation to plan.
c) Test packs were mostly submitted on time. Those who missed my due date after five check-ins have a short lunch detention with me on Thursday at 11:30 AM.
d) Two sectors of the essay planner on conformity are due in class tomorrow and must include a quoted text citation from the story for each one. We will complete the planner as homework on Thursday night so it is ready for class to compose a rough draft next Monday.

2. The Pourquoi Tale activity has been assigned with a handout that contains an example of a story, the traits of the genre, and a planner for a student story.
