Lectura

Reader’s Theater

This week we continued with our focused question: How do people benefit from innovations? We started reading an  expository piece titled Antes de Colon: Las Americas en 1491 by Charles C.Mann. We will finish this piece next week. Students also had a chance to continue to work on their expository writing pieces. Most of them completed step 5 and had an opportunity to conference with peers to receive constructive feedback. We will be ready to continue to work on steps 5 and 6 next week. The grammar focus this week was adjectives.
