Reading: This week in reading, students will learn that in fantasy stories, characters face different kinds of
dragons--some are literal, while others are metaphorical dragons symbolizing conflicts faced by those
characters. Also, we will learn that insightful readers mine fantasy stories to discover themes and lessons
that might apply to their own lives. Later in the week, we will learn that fantasy stories follow a quest
structure, and to achieve a deeper understanding of the story, it’s valuable to investigate both the external
and internal quests of major characters. Finally, we will compare themes in fantasy and history.

Writing: This week in writing, students will learn that writers sketch out possible plotlines for stories often
on “story mountains” that represent traditional story structure. Also, students will learn that, in a sense,
writing scenes is the same as writing Small Moment stories. Students will learn to SHOW don’t tell. Finally,
students will work to create their best drafts by experiencing the world through their character’s skin,
letting the story unfold as it happens to us.

Math: This week in math, we will continue to multiply fractions. Students will review all they know so far
about multiplying fractions. Also, we will add to our knowledge by learning how to use models and the
algorithm to multiply a fraction by a fraction and mixed numbers. Later in the week, students will work to
find the area of a rectangle. Students will continue to make sense of problems and persevere.
