This is the RUNNERS strategy that I use in class with the students. We will use this all year long! The students will need to memorize this to help them on EOG.
2nd Quarter
2nd Quarter ReadingWe are continuing to learn about characters and how they change in a story. We are using the RUNNERS reading strategy to comprehend the passages we are reading.
2nd Quarter WritingOpinions! We all have one, but can we write it in a way that states our opinion with reasons?! We are learning how to persuade others and how to write our opinions effectively.
O-opinion stated
R-reasons for your opinion
E- explain your reasons
O-opinion restatedGrammar! It's a beast for everyone that uses the English language! I do not expect 3rd graders to be grammar experts, but I do want them to know what each part of a sentence is.
The basics are:
*Nouns (people, places, things)
*Verbs (show action or help show action, or link a sentence together
*Adjectives (describe ONLY a noun)
*Pronouns take the place of nouns
*Adverbs "add" to a verb and tells when, where, or how
Prepositions tell the "position" of the noun (or pronoun)
