Weekly Language Review
What is Weekly Language Review?
The Weekly Language Review is focused on 5th Grade ELA Standards. Each day has a thematic structure to cover Language Standards as well as enhance Vocabulary and Comprehension skills.
Meaningful Monday: Monday is focused on making meaning. Tasks will focus on synonyms, antonyms, vocabulary words, context clues, and making meaning in a short amount of text. Some tasks may require students to make meaning in the text (inference, message, adages, proverbs, etc.) or build vocabulary skills.
Text Structure Tuesday: Tuesdays will have a paragraph that requires students to identify the text structure, signal words, and a question or two related to main idea, author's perspective, or vocabulary.
Wordy Wednesday: Wednesday is all about working with words. Tasks include working with shades of meaning, homophones, or a short writing task using pictures or a word bank.
Throwback Thursday: Thursday is all about grammar usage and conventions.
Figurative Friday: Figurative Friday tasks include working with various types of figurative language including similes, metaphors, idioms, and more!
What should I do with the Weekly Language sheet?
On Thursday evenings, students should bring home the Weekly Language sheet to use as a study guide.
When will we have Weekly Language quizzes?
Every Friday there will be a Weekly Language quiz reviewing the skills presented during the week.
