Communication Arts: May 4 - 8

This past week we finished the April book presentations and our poetry unit with visual marking poetry and poetry jeopardy. The students prepared for and participated in a literature circle, and we read two different sources on the same topic - the Hercules myth. The students then completed a writing prompt asking them to summarize the similarities and differences and critique the changes between the original myth and the Disney version paying close attention to audience and purpose.
