6E1 and 6E2Notebook Know Hows should be passed in today. They are to be placed in the blue bin with your class number on it. These are on the floor at the back of the classroom. 6L and 7L Please pass in your Notebook Know Hows on Wednesday October 8th. ** Make sure you put a * beside the two lifts you want me to mark. **If you are unsure about the marking or criteria for your lifts, below are examples to guide you. Organization - 1 point for the title, 1 point for the page # & paragraph # and one point for the sentence lifted. 3 points in total.Content- 1 point if you state the reason generally (EX: I lifted this because it sounded cool.) 2 points if you state the reason using specifics (EX: I lifted this because it used a great verb "shattered".) 3 points if you state the reason using specifics and you show me how it made you feel. (Ex: I lifted this because the verb shattered made me visualize how the windshied broke and I could picture the tiny pieces of glass flying everywhere.)Conventions - 1 point for correct grammar, 1 point for correct punctuation and 1 point for correct spelling. 3 points in total. You are responsible for all sight words and all month to month phonics words up to grade 5. If you attempt to spell an unknown word and it is in close proximity to the actual word and I can determine that you must have used a spelling strategy to attempt the word, you will not lose a point for the spelling of that word. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!Mrs. Gregan
