Another busy week is on the horizon.
This week we will continue reading stories connected to our anchor text "My Brother Martin". Students will learn about the civil rights movement and attempt to get a better understanding about the history of our country. We will explore our text's essential question, "What might lead a person to try to change the world"? In addition we will explore our informational selection about Nelson Mandela. (Test on Friday)
Writing/Grammar finds us continuing our quest to recognize and apply the four different types of sentences. Remember---
Declarative = statement= a period . for punctuation
Interrogative = question = a question mark ? for punctuation
Exclamatory = great feeling = an exclamation point ! for punctuation
Imperative = a command = a period . for punctuation
It is important when we write to include different types of sentences to make our writing interesting!
