Long Term Rdg. Project/Spelling Enrichment

I explained to the children today the long term reading project. I gave them the paperwork and went over the directions for it. 1. Character comparison - compare yourself to a main character in your story. Tell 3 ways you are different and 3 ways you are like the main character. Fill in the venn diagram and then turn that information into 1 or 2 paragraphs on a separate sheet of paper. 2. Make a 3 sided pyramid that includes the following information from your book - (a) Setting - describe a scene in the story....tell about it and illustrate it (b) Characters - draw the main characters and write who they are (c) Conflict - describe a conflict that occured in the story and illustrate it. Remember, this project is due on September 24th. There will be some time to work on this in class, but not a lot.

The spelling enrichment words for this week are: 1. legislature
2. facade 3. kaleidoscope
4. technique 5. particular 6. identical 7. graduation 8. sediment
9. mathematical
10. quarrel 11. hilarious 12. naive 13. jealousness 14. opponent
15. recuperate

Good luck on both the project and the enrichment (if you choose to do the enrichment).
