Dear Michael's parents,

Michael had an excellent English language lesson today. He worked very hard, learning a lot of new vocabulary and effectively using context clues to help him with his story comprehension. Fantastic, hard work today, Michael!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Michael's homework as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 17 - Task 1 - U6L2 - In Class - Hercules and the Golden Apples.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Pre-reading strategies: prediction, identification, text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections

2) Key / New vocabulary: translations, definitions, and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation, inflection, intonation, pace, fluency, decoding, context clues, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Myth

5) Text Features: Table of Contents and Illustrations

6) Sentence / Context Clues

7) Theme Chart
