Spelling Lesson 23 - Spelling is due on Thursday + test on Friday
Grade 4: words with o und ow
|
Grade 5: syllables
|
Tip:
- Diphthongs ou and ow can make the /ou/ sound ex without or towns
- Letters ow can also be a vowel pair - makes the /o/ sound ex. Hollow
- Letters ou can make the /o/ sound in although, the /o/ sound in thought, or the /u. sound un southern
|
Tip:
- . when a vowel is sounded alone in a word, it usually forms a syllable by itself as in an – i – mal
- When a word ends in a consonant + le, divide the word before that consonant, as in ve – hi – cle

Today the grade 4s continued working on their summatives. Their task is to compare an aspect of the medieval times to the same aspect of present day. They must draw an illustration to show the similarities or the differences, write an essay outlining these aspects and to deliver an announcement about these changes.
Summative outline:
Medieval Times Announcement
Instructions
Working with a partner, you will be researching an aspect of medieval times and comparing it to the same aspect of today’s society. Within your summative, you need to focus on Form – what it is like, Change – how it is changing, how has it changed, and Connection – how is it connected to other things. For example, you might be researching the delivery of daily news. In this case you would compare ways we receive news today to how people in the medieval times might have received news. In this summative, you will use your notes, books, and the internet to expand your knowledge and understanding of life in the middle ages.
Summative groups:
Charlotte & Emily
Vaibhav & Aashrith
Ali & Lennard
Meekaal, Abdul & Bilal
Jacob & Neel
Julia & Honor
Isabella & Alexa
