Hello,
Today we will be preparing for our vocab quiz. If you failed our last quiz think about a plan to avoid that happening again.  You can make flash cards, or study with a parent or guardian, brother or sister, or classmate.

Please sign in with one thing you remember about the 5 paragraph essay structure.

Thank you,
Ms. Z



HOMEWORK: Make flashcards to study your words and for an extra point on your quiz.

Learning Target: I am prepared to pass my vocabulary quiz tomorrow




Things to think about for your essay:


  • Do you have a “Cole before the event” and a “Cole after the event” sentence for each paragraph?
  • Do you have another sentence backing those up with embedded DQs?
  • Have you avoided starting two or more sentences in a paragraph with the same word?
  • Did you include a transition sentence to bring us from your description of Cole at the beginning of your introductory paragraph to the three events that changed him? (Between letters A and B in the introductory paragraph)

Hello Students,

Today we will be learning the structure of a five-paragraph essay in preparation for your Touching Spirit Bear essay.

Sign in by telling me if you know one part of a five paragraph essay already.

Thank You,
Ms. Z


Learning Target: I can explain the structure of a five paragraph essay.



Embedding a DQ example

Cole was so naive, he said that “if [he] saw a Spirit Bear, [he’d] kill it” (18).



Sparrow event

Before: Cole wanted the sparrows to die.

Change: Cole identified with the sparrows.

After: He didn’t think he deserved to die. Becomes worried about the sparrows.
