Homework
Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send me the student's work through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like some additional feedback on the student's writing. Parents can also practice reading comprehension strategies at home: 1. Be sure you have your child's attention. 2. Minimize distractions. 3. As you read, have students repeat phrases back to you. 4. Ask yourself questions while you read…”I wonder why…” 5. Use “wait time.” Give students a minute to think before repeating your question. 6. Check for understanding. Ask them to repeat the question back to you. 7. Help students make connections between the book and their own experiences! 8. For emergent writers, always pair writing and drawing together! Draw and write with the story in mind!
Assessment
Students will be assessed informally through participation, questioning, and by completing a written response and drawing based on the book we read. (Note: We will review pre-writing strategies for young writers who do not yet write words.) Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send the student's work to me through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like some additional feedback on the student's writing.

Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Intermediate Level
In Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s Ballot Box Battle: 2 Day Reading Comprehension Camp students will meet 1 week for 2 days to read and discuss the book (The Ballot Box Battle by Emily Arnold McCully) and life of a woman who significantly impacted women's rights in the United States. This fictional account of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's neighbor chronicles Stanton's real-life accomplishments in women's voting rights.  Students will apply comprehension skills while gaining insight into the strength and courage of the women and men who fought to make change happen.  We will focus on reading comprehension, writing, fluency, speaking, and listening.

Students at this age are also learning to be good readers.  Good readers use prior knowledge, make predictions, summarize, question, infer, visualize, and make inferences.  WHEW!  That's a LOT!  It is important for children to be able to comprehend what they read--but HOW does that happen?  Students must apply literal, inferential, and evaluative skills to answer who, what, when, where, why, and how questions based on the text.  In this camp, we will practice answering comprehension questions focused on inferences and making predictions. Students will review new vocabulary, and answering the 5W's + H (how) questions while reading each story.

During each 50 minute class:
• Students will be welcomed to class.  We will quickly review the class rules and our learning goals.  
• We will go over a short 5-minute mini lesson on story structure and plot elements.  Emphasis will be placed on building the literary vocabulary (setting, characters, events, problem/solution.) Students will then listen to the book about Elizabeth Cady Stanton to apply their skills.  
• Students will then spend approximately 20 minutes with teacher guidance, using a story map to identify plot elements.  Younger children will draw a picture with details to complete the story map.  Teacher support will be available to all students during this time. Students should raise their hand if they have a question.
• As a class, we will review the material covered in the mini lesson and I will answer any questions prior to dismissing the class.  

Day 1: Who is Elizabeth Cady Stanton?  What is the 19th Amendment to the Constitution?  We will read the first half of the book.
Day 2: We will finish reading the book and explore Stanton’s legacy.  We will history with reading comprehension. 

(NOTE:  Children learn vocabulary, sequencing, and prediction skills through repetition of stories.  If you feel your child would benefit from hearing the stories again, I would love to have him/her join me in additional sections of the class!)

Learning Goals

During the class, we will focus on reading comprehension, writing, fluency, speaking, and listening.
