Week at a Glance

2. Arts Integration Arts Integration – ELA Math

Students are still working on their ideas, this will be an ongoing assignment
Math
Solving expressions using substitution – use “Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites”
book by Carole Marsh for ideas.

3. ELA Learning targets – 7th
ELAGSE7SL1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 7 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.
ELAGSE6SL1a. Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence on the topic, text, or issue to probe and reflect on ideas under discussion.
LAGSE7SL4: Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation.
ELAGSE7W1: Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence.
ELAGSE7W1a. Introduce claim(s), acknowledge alternate or opposing claims, and organize the reasons and evidence logically.

4. 6th ELA learning targets
ELAGSE6W1: Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence.
ELAGSE6W1a. Introduce claim(s) and organize the reasons and evidence clearly.
ELAGSE6SL4: Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation.
ELAGSE6RI2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

5. Monday, March 4 Tuesday, March 5
I-Ready Intervention day – reteaching small group.
Tuesday, March 5
Formative: ELA vocabulary, main idea, topic, topic sentence, supporting details; reading passages.
Tuesday homework: my.sharepoint.com/:b:/r/personal/westoma_richmond_k12_ga_us/Documents/ %20School%20Year/prefixeswritecorrectprefix.pdf?csf=1&e=AxKGtv
Wednesday/Thursday: work on interactive argumentative template, identifying parts of the argument, reasons and supports. 
Homework: prefixes and word endings (s, ed, ing)
Friday: quiz: prefixes. Students will continue working on argument writing.

6. Cell Phones in School
Students continue working on argumentative writing. Presented with list of topics, students will decide on the “class” topic, break into 2 groups and begin their investigations.
Students will individually write a paragraph based on their side of the argument, using researched information to support their argument.
Each group will create a powerpoint or chosen presentation format in preparation for their debate!

7. 6th Math learning targets
Essential Question: How can you use the order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions? How can I use substitution to solve expressions?
I can read, write, and evaluate algebraic expressions in real world problems
I can identify equivalent expressions an justify my reasoning
I can identify parts of an expression using mathematical terminology and justify my reasoning
