Bellwork: 1.Make sure you write down this week’s Homework in your planner, which is due Friday (8/22) 2. Make a reading strategies chart: Predict, clarify, question, & summarize. Where do you make it? Make the chart in your journal on the page BEFORE the reference chart we made (located on the last page of your journal) 3. Make sure to title it: If You’re not from the Prairie 8-18

Vocab  Repetition-the simple repeating of a word or words for emphasis  Imagery-the use of language to create vivid pictures in the reader’s mind (5-senses)  Setting-Where a story takes place in time and location  Author’s P.O.V- the author’s opinion, or feelings toward the topic  Sensory Details-sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste.

Scale P.O.V Learning Goal: The student will be able to analyze the author's purpose and/or P.O.V. in a variety of texts and understand how they affect the message. What are scales? With our scales, we measure how knowledgeable we are of the material, (0 Being low and 4 being very knowledable)

How it Works Low Range 0- You don’t understand at all 1-You understand a little bit, not too much 1.5- You recognize some terms or concepts, but not all and not in depth 2- You recognize more terms and concepts, but don’t understand the complex ones

Scale Cont’d Higher Range 2.5- You know the terms and you recognize the goal 3.0- You understand the material (simple and complex) 3.5- You understand the material and can make inferences and apply the info 4.0- You are an expert (in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond instruction to the standard )

Let’s Think…  Predict how growing up in different place might affect how you would view the world - The mountains - California - An Island

6 Traits: IDEAS Ideas make up the content of the piece of writing- in other words, it is the heart of the message Ideas should: Be on topic Should be focused and narrow-- don’t be broad! Have elaboration and supporting details Include fresh original ideas and perspectives Should make sense Author is writing for experience/knowledge

Newspaper Article By Leslie Postal, Orlando Sentinel, May 8, 2011 Put away the flouncy skirts, the baggy jeans and the Hello Kitty or Harry Potter t-shirts. At more and more Florida schools, uniforms are now required — or coming soon. And that begs the question: Can public schools demand kids wear khakis and a polo? Yes, they can. Florida law grants local school boards the right to require school uniforms, and an increasing number are exercising that option, or at least talking about it. Polk County adopted mandatory uniforms for elementary and middle school students more than a decade ago, one of the first in the nation to do so. Bay County in the Panhandle and then Osceola County followed, adopting uniforms for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade

What is the IDEA of the Article?  Was it focused & on topic?  Did it have elaboration and supporting details?  Did it make sense?  Was the author knowledgeable?

Was it a strong or weak IDEA? What did it need more of?
