Reading
You will continue to fill out the Reading Log this week. You should be reading daily for 20 - 30 minutes. We know that you have been reading novels almost exclusively over the past 4 weeks. Perhaps you may wish to change up your reading and reading non-fiction books or other reading sources. Remember to submit your reading log on Friday. I want to see what you are reading!

Writing
This week you will be working on a persuasive writing activity. There are a number of files below. The first set of files is the actual assignment itself. You will be completing a writing of either 3 paragraphs (introduction/body/conclusion) or 5 paragraphs (introduction/3 body/conclusion). The next set of files includes two student work samples. These samples show how the activity were completed by two students. Please note that these samples do not show work in the exceeding expectations range. There are also some planning sheets which may help you in the planning process. The third file has a planning sheet, or scaffold, that you may wish to use to assist you in your writing task. There are also some links to some YouTube videos that you may wish to watch to assist you in the completion of this assignment. On Friday, submit the final copy of your persuasive writing assignment. You do not need to submit your planning pages.

Numeracy
Work in Math this week will focus on the design of a house. In the first part of the activity you will design your dream house. Architectural plans must be very precise and neat to be used by a builder. So remember to be precise in your work — use a ruler and a fine liner pen (if you have one). See the example to see how you could make this activity a bit more simple and easy to complete this week.
In part 2 of the activity you will be an interior designer commissioned to furnish 2 rooms in the house you have designed. I would suggest that you work on designing the house on Tuesday and Wednesday. I would suggest you work on the interior design part of the project on Thursday. On Friday, I would suggest you finish up any part s that need tidying up and submit your work.
With any extra time, or if you just want to do some extra practice, work on IXL Math. This week I do not believe you will have a lot of extra time so just work to finish up sections you may not have finished in previous weeks.
