Monday, May 9 Do Now: SSR Homework: ✓ Vocabulary Word Study (Quiz on May 13) Objective: I can apply my knowledge of ELAR content and testing strategies to complete “Sink or Sail.” Today you will need: Independent Reading Novel Reader’s AND Writer’s Notebook Pen or Pencil

Motivational Monday

Writing Response

“Sink or Sail” Use Strategies to read and answer the questions. You will be in groups of 4 to create a “poster” for your question. Your goal is to get the answer correct AND match my rationale.

Correct Answer: B This answer choice provides the reason for including information about Jesse Martin in his argument that Laura is old enough to sail around the world by herself.

Correct Answer: H Stereotype- a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Saying that teenagers make irrational decisions is a fixed idea of that group of people.

Correct Answer: B The danger of sailing is mentioned by both Luka and Maya. Proof- Paragraph 4 and 10

Correct Answer: H Proof- Paragraph 7 “And the risks won’t be as great for Laura because she will have the safety boat shadowing her.” Using context clues around the word, “shadowing” let the reader know that a safety boat will be following Laura throughout her voyage.

Correct Answer: D Giving examples of the boat crashing, giant waves, and storms help to stress the potential danger.

Correct Answer: H Giving the reader information about Laura’s experience, the type of boat she will use, and her plan allows the reader to understand that she is well-prepared for her voyage. Process of Elimination- F: BOGUS- it’s the opposite; G: That’s only one part of the table (experience); J: That’s only one part of the table (plan)

Correct Answer: D Process of Elimination: A: BOGUS since she is competing against Michael Perham’s record; B: BOGUS since showing that other kids have sailed around the world solo strengthen Laura’s case; C: Wrong because the world record is based on age not length of time; D: best answer choice
