You must complete a three Rs reading response journal every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Here is an example of a few short stories (scary ones). http://www.halloweenishere.com/ghost_stories3.html
We read some scary stories today. The next step is for you to begin to write them.

Think about:

Plot (what happens)
Character (who/what is in the story)
Mood / Tone (part of setting the five senses..how someone would feel being "in" your story).
Problem/Conflict (what does the main character(s) have to face?)
Solution (How does the main character(s) solve the problem?
Point of view (Who is telling the story..first (I, me, we) or third (they, he/she,characters name)
Theme / main (What message are you sending to the reader, what can a reader learn?)
Figuartive language (What words, phrases can you use to have certain effects on the reader? think adjectives, repeating of words, etc.)

Math - measurement / conversion of units continues. Now we're reviewing area and volume of rectangular prisms..and how they relate.

Words to know: factors (numbers you multiply) product (answer to a multiplying question)

eg. 3 x 4 = 12 3, 4 are factors, the product is 12.
length - one dimension (length only)
area - two dimensions (length and width)
volume - three dimensions (length, width and height (or depth)

What are each of the appropriate units? think squared? cubed?
