4th Grade Help For summer project

Dear Parents,


Please look in your child's notebook for the help they received on the book report, also the clarifications that were made to their misunderstandings.

The summer project is still due September 14

FIVE ELEMENTS OF PLOT

Beginning 
 1. Introduction or Exposition—where you introduce your characters, establish the setting, and present the primary conflict, usually in the first chapter.

Middle 
2. Rising Action—section where a series of events occur to build up to the conflict. Each succeeding event is more complicated than the previous, creating tension and excitement.

 3. Climax—major turning point of the story where everything converges and main character must make life-changing choice, leaving reader to wonder what will happen next. Sometimes referred to as “the final battle.”

End 

4. Falling Action—winding up of your story. Events and complications are resolving, and the consequences of your character’s choices are revealed.

5. Resolution—the conclusion of your story, which may have a happy or tragic ending.

During Class we recreated this chart with all the points from the story. This will help them answer all their questions.

5th Grade reminders

Gym classes are Tuesday and Friday

All paperwork must be handed in by Monday, in the folders that they were given to you in.

Written Response Scoring Rubric

Score   and Criteria

 8-point response clearly demonstrates exceptional understanding of the task, completes all requirements, and provides an insightful explanation/opinion that links to or extends aspects of the text.

6-7-point response demonstrates a basic understanding of the task, completes all requirements, and provides some explanation/opinion using situations or ideas from the text as support.

4-5-point response may address all of the requirements, but demonstrates a partial understanding of the task, and uses text incorrectly or with limited success resulting in an inconsistent or flawed explanation.

2-3-point response demonstrates minimal understanding of the task, does not complete the requirements, and provides only a vague reference to or no use of the text.

Response does not provide enough information for the teacher to evaluate.

1-point response is irrelevant or off-topic or has been plagiarized.
