ELA Unit 2 "Nature's Fury" Gallery Walk
A Look at next Week:
ELA
Reading- We have started Unit 2, "Nature's Fury." We have been discussing natural disasters. This week students will continue to practice their paraphrasing skills. Students will practice reading and drawing inferences from maps.
Language Arts- We will begin researching and revising our informational writing on natural disasters. Students will learn how to incorporate maps and graphs into their writing.
Word Work- Students will begin to work on Word Work List 5: a/an, dec, derma, photo, port, and struct. They will also be working with vocabulary words that go along with a hurricane article we will be reading (tropical cyclone, condenses, cumulonimbus, unstable, mound, and inland).
