Speechtastic!
This year in English Language Arts, students will participate in Speechtastic, where, by preparing different short speeches, they will improve their speaking skills, develop their listening skills and use their creativity!
Their first speech of the year is an Impromptu Speech, a speech given with little preparation. Each student will give Mme McKenzie three possible topics. She will randomly choose one and the student will have to present their speech on the spot. What is most important is to speak clearly and calmly, without long pauses, umms or misused 'likes'.

Reading Responses
During our Reader's Workshop time, students are required to write a weekly Reading Response about the book they are currently reading. These letters are due Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on which group the student belongs.
The goal of Reading Responses is to share thinking about books, reading, writers and writing.
Due to the fact that students have class time to complete this work, it should rarely go home as homework.
