1. WestonMarch 11 – 15, 2019 Week at a Glance

2. Arts Integration • Arts Integration – ELA • Prefix rap (de, im, dis, re, • Math Integration • Solving expressions using substitution – use “Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites” book by Carole Marsh for ideas.

3. ELA Learning targets – 7th • ELAGSE7SL1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 7 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly. • ELAGSE6SL1a. Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence on the topic, text, or issue to probe and reflect on ideas under discussion. • ELAGSE7SL4: Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation. • ELAGSE7W1: Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. • ELAGSE7W1a. Introduce claim(s), acknowledge alternate or opposing claims, and organize the reasons and evidence logically.

4. 6th ELA learning targets • ELAGSE6W1: Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. • ELAGSE6W1a. Introduce claim(s) and organize the reasons and evidence clearly. • ELAGSE6SL4: Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation. • ELAGSE6RI2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

5. Daily Activities • Monday, March 4 • I-Ready Intervention day – reteaching small group. • Tuesday, March 5 • Formative: continued from Friday: ELA vocabulary, main idea, topic, topic sentence, supporting details; reading passages. • Tuesday homework: page , prefixes, • Wednesday/Thursday: work on interactive argumentative template, identifying parts of the argument, reasons and supports.  • Friday: Work to be continued practice with main idea and details for sub.

6. Cell Phones in School • Students continue working on argumentative writing. Presented with list of topics, students will decide on the “class” topic, break into 2 groups and begin their investigations. • Students will individually write a paragraph based on their side of the argument, using researched information to support their argument. • Each group will create a powerpoint or chosen presentation format in preparation for their debate!

7. 6th Math learning targets • Essential Question: How can you use the order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions? How can I use substitution to solve expressions? • I can read, write, and evaluate algebraic expressions in real world problems • I can identify equivalent expressions an justify my reasoning • I can identify parts of an expression using mathematical terminology and justify my reasoning

8. I can do That! • Monday and Tuesday will be switched. Students who complete assessment will go on I-Ready to work on lessons. • Monday: I-ready intervention day: small group intervention, order of operations, exponents, • Tuesday – Continued work on quiz from Friday: • Materials – Quiz, I-Ready, Gomath book. • Tuesday – I-Ready • Wednesday –, Classwork, continuing with 272, 273, 274 – evaluating real world expressions. HW to be determined. • Thursday: continued practice with substitution, homework from gomath, • Friday: continued practice with substitution and order of operations with sub.,
