Can you look at the map section above and using all three maps, determine what region in the United States, most of the tribe we will study is from?

Read Thanks and Read Thanks and AcknowledgmentsAcknowledgments

Hmmm, there are three sections here. How can we be sure everyone in the group participates?

Native American Focus - Ojibway(also called: Ojibwe, Ojibwa, and Chippewa)from an Algonquian word meaning 'puckered,' probably because of the

tribe's puckered moccasin style

• Region – The Mid-West of the United States (especially Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and southern Canada)

• Housing - birchbark houses called waginogans, or wigwams

• Religion - Chippewa mythology• Clothing - Ojibwa moccasin

• Food – wild rice, corn, fishing, small game, and nuts and fruit.

This page will be for the main character of the story. Each group member will pick a trait and cite evidence to justify trait selected. You will add documentation to this page as the book is read.

On this page, each group member will analyze a different character in the story. Using 1/3 of the page, each group member will then follow the directions at the top of the page.

Character: ________ by Group Member 1

Character: ________ by Group Member 2

Character: ________ by Group Member 3

On this page, any unknown words discovered through the novel, or words that need to be clarified, will be written around the tepee.Your words should also be added to our classroom “Vocabulary Tepee.”

This page will be completed at the end of Chapter 4 by one group member.

After each section “season” a different group member will complete the appropriate page.

For example: Group Member 1 – summer Group Member 2 – autumn Group Member 3 – winter Joint effort - spring – Group member 1 draw

character for illustration- Group member 2 draw setting for illustration- Group member 3 color illustration

Partner Conferences

• Make a short list of things you want to ask your partner.

• Did you come up with these?– I want to ask my partner if she can imagine what’s

happening.– I want to ask my partner if he can tell what I learned

from what I wrote. – I want to find out whether anything is confusing to my

partner.

Reflect on your feedback

• What was helpful about the way your partner talked to you today?

• What problems, if any, did you have during pair conferences?

• What will you do to avoid those problems next time?

• What is one thing that your partner told you about your piece?

Does this remind you of their feedback?

Editing Time

• Now you will proofread and check for grammatical errors.

Editing

• Step 1: Circle any words in your writing that you feel uncertain that they may be spelled correctly.

Writing Resource!

• Working with your partner, use the dictionary to look up the words you circled. Correct any that you misspelled.

• If a word is not listed in the dictionary, then you may:– Ask your partner– Use the computer

Proofreading for Grammar

There Their

They’reGo back into your writing and see if you used any of

these words. Circle them when you find them.

There Their They’re

• These words all sound the same, but they have different meanings.

• How do you know whether you’re using the right word in your sentence?

Rule Example Notes

There “over there” “here” is the hidden word

Their “their house” Means “belonging to them”

They’re “they’re funny” Short for “they are”

Let’s make a HomonymHomonym chart!

Proofreading Notes• Remember to use your proofreading

bookmark as a checklist of things to pay attention to when you proofread your drafts.

• What else is listed on your proofreading bookmark that you will check for in your drafts?

• In addition to checking for capital letters at the beginnings of sentences and punctuation at the ends, you should also look for very long sentences that need to be divided into two sentences and super short sentences that would sound better combined with another sentence.

Writing Time• For the next 20 to 30 minutes,

please complete the following.1. Proofread your draft for

spelling and punctuation.2. Check correct use of there,

their, and they’re.3. Check for very long sentences

and super short sentences.4. If you finish 1-3, then you may

trade your paper with another classmate to do a final reading.

Sharing and Reflecting• What corrections did you make

when you proofread your draft?• How did you check on words

that were not in the dictionary?• Did your proofreading notes

help you find any errors? Tell us about them.

• Did you rewrite any long sentences? What about super short ones? Read us your original sentence(s) and your revision.
