I have to follow the book for the first time this year. These are some of the stuff that I do in my classroom.
1. I have them read the stories. But, the dialogues are two easy for them.
2. After they read an article. I start asking them questions and they have to answer in complete
sentences.
3. Then on the next article or story. They have to write down 5 or 6 questions from the article or story
and I will check to make sure they are written correctly. Then they come to the front and start asking
the class their questions. Then the class has to answer in complete sentences.
4. Every week they have to write a diary about the article or a topic related to the article. Then they have to give
a speech on what they wrote.
5. Some of the topic they wrote about this year.
a. Design a school uniform and tell the class.
b. List 5 Greek Gods and Goddess and explain why you like them for a newspaper article.
c. Write a two page book.
d. pick a word from the chapter and write a story about that word.
6. Spelling bee.
7. I like this websate. Becuase it will help the students with there speaking and writing.
