Evidence of Students Learning
I taught a lesson on authors' purpose. During the week of teaching this skill, I planned a mini lesson for students to create a reference tool to use throughout the year. This mnemonic device is referred to as P.I.E. Each students' pie has an example of the three reasons why authors write a body of text. Each slice of the pie is labeled P for persuade, I for inform, or E for entertain.

Rosa Parks Illustration
For morning message, I informed the class about a story I will be sharing with them about a legend of the Civil Rights Movement. After the story, I instructed the students to illustrate an event that occurred in the story.
