Dear Marquis' parents,

It is always a pleasure to teach, Marquis. He had another excellent lesson, today.

Please don't worry about Marquis not being able to complete his homework due to his baby brother being very sick and the very important health visit from Marquis' aunt and cousin. Family must always come first. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we covered Lesson 8 - Task 1 - U1L6 - In Class - Changing Landscapes.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

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

2) Key / New vocabulary: translation, definition, and synonym

3) Reading strategies: decoding, fluency, context clues, and comprehension

4) Genre: Expository Text

5) Text Features: illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and labels

6) Conversational Practice
