__**Writing**__ Biographies: What people are important to the person you are interviewing? Think: what relationships and other connections could a reader discover among your characters? For now, let's stop reading during writing time. Create knowledge, don't consume it!

Science Research Who else has asked the same question as us? What variables did they use? What values did their variables take?

__**Math**__ __Weekly vocabulary review__ List the important vocabulary words we've had that should be put in our glossaries and on a word wall. Say what the word means, and give two examples. Talk to a partner, and decide which of your examples would help someone who was absent understand better. After reading both your definitions, write the definition on an index card. We will use these cards for a game show on Friday.

__Finish Factor Posters__ Mr. Welch's Conjecture about 3 being a Factor Someone's Conjecture about 6 being a Factor Someone's Conjecture about 4 being a Factor

__Variables__ //Rats in Cages Problem// A friend of mine has eight rats. They can go back and forth between two cages through a tube. There's a big cage and a small cage. How many rats might be in each cage? Ignore the possibility that any of them are just sitting in the tube. What are all the possibilities?

//The Telephone Pole Problem//

__Mental Math__ //The Ten Game// //The 100 Game//

__Number Sense__ //Test each other// Multiples of 3 up to 120 Multiples of 4 up to 120 Multiples of 5 up to 120 Multiples of 6 up to 120 Multiples of 7 up to 119 Multiples of 8 up to 120 Multiples of 9 up to 117 Multiples of 10 up to 250 Multiples of 100 up to 3,000 Multiples of 1,000 up to 30,000 Multiples of 10,000 up to 300,000 Multiples of 100,000 up to 3,000,000

Operation Formulas addend+addend=sum minuend - subtrahend = difference factor x factor = product //or// multiplier x multiplicand = multiple dividend / divisor = quotient

__**Reading**__ Movie Posters to Illustrate Setting and Connections between Characters in your Book [|Stepbrothers] [|Ironman] [|New Moon] [|Harry Potter 7] [|Harry Potter 7] [|Dark Knight] [|Back to the Future] [|Wizard of Oz] [|Toy Story 3] [|Great Debaters] Continue to work on predictions, then move into questioning. Reading inventory on Monday

Goal: Assess two students per day, be done in two weeks. This will require 30 minutes of read-aloud, 30 of independent reading. After two weeks, see if we want to keep these ratios, or go back.

__**Evaluation Criteria**__ __Challenges__: Makes effort, extends challenge when appropriate __Writing__: Has gone through each step of writing process to complete biography __Math__: Can identify area of greatest need, and use equality to make problems easier (compare interview to quiz results) __Science__: Can state what question, input variables and output variables are for group experiment; observation; design & refine __Reading__: Demonstrates understanding of setting, character relationships; makes a reasonable prediction; DRA at, above, or approaching, or far below grade level

Start to give specific prompts, and do an activity before the written reflection. Specifically, everyone does reading log, then everyone gets up for an inside-outside circle, or a gallery walk w/ chart paper, reflects, then record the two most important things they said. What worked? What didn't? What do you look forward to doing tomorrow? What have you done outside of school that reminds you of something we've done today? Tell me about a game you've played at home. How could we make a similar game that included something we've learned today?
