Fourth Class Period: "The Interlopers" & "One Ordinary Day with Peanuts"--Conflict, Plot, and Vocabulary

(Thursday, August 23rd for Periods 5 & 6 and Friday, August 24th for Periods 1, 2, & 7)

Devotional Text and Prayer:

"22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"

Luke:22-24


Quiz: Parts of a Plot

Mr. Stone re-examined the events of "The Interlopers" with students. They compared and contrasted the three major conflicts in the story and constructed a plot line for each in a different color (R3).

Mr. Stone distributed the vocabulary worksheet for "One Ordinary Day with Peanuts." He reviewed with them the spelling strategy and the vocabulary strategy of using a small-word-within-a-word.

Students chose one word from the first three vocabulary sheets and drew an illustration.

Homework: Read "One Ordinary Day with Peanuts."
