Dear parents,

Your children worked very hard throughout today's English language lesson. They were engaged, energetic, actively and effectively using their Anchor Chart binders, and writing significant amounts of detailed information into their notebooks. Really well done to all of them today!

For today's lesson, we covered Lesson 16 - Task 1 - U4L6 - In Class - Your Turn.

We focused on the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Key/New vocabulary - definitions and synonyms

2) Complex Sentence Structures: rich with detail

3) Reading strategies: context clues, decoding, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Historical Fiction

5) Narrator Point of View

6) Literary Elements

7) Words with Phonetic Distinction: 'u' sounds

8) Consonant + 'al'/'el'/'il'/'ol' Syllables

9) Answering Questions & Writing Stories strategy: 5 W's (when, why, where, who, what) + H (how) and Detail
