LA PAT Part A next Wednesday All morning
Today the students began their day with revisiting Area and perimeter problems. We are currently working through the trickiest types of problems in this unit. I assigned the mathletics tasks for this unit today and they have some excellent problems for the students to solve.
After math the students wrote their Article quiz quiz which tests their breakdown and analysis skills for articles.
After the quiz we marked it and moved into creating excellent closes for articles.
An excellent close should wrap up the article, say whether the article will continue and finally provide a destination to seek out additional information such as a website.
In the afternoon students got their articles back and we looked at the positives and areas of growths needed for the PAT on Wednesday.
Tons of LA today!
After LA we moved into gym in which the students enjoyed a choice of dodgeball, basketball or badminton.
Below is two picture prompts and fact sheet for students to practice writing a story and an article for the PAT!
