Welcome to Ms. De la Vega's Reading and ESOL Classroom


In our ESOL classes this week we are understanding the Genre: Play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, an Engligh playwright who lived from 1564 to 1616.  Students will learn Vocabulary building, literary terms, dictionary skills and word study words.The Reading strategy is monitor comprehension. Studnets will answer the 5 Ws and write a gossip column. Next week we will be reading the news article entitled "Furious Feuds: Enemies by Association."  The big question is How do conflicts affect us?  The Reading Strategy is taking notes and the informational text is Social Studies.

In our Intensive Reading Level A/B block class, we are working on phonemic drills for the short vowel sound /e/, and x for and /gz/. The students will write the letter for the short vowel and learn the essential and unit vocabulary words: all, call, into, our, small and their. In class unit 7 covers contractions and -ed suffixes.   During the week for reading comprehension we will be reading  The World Wide Web, The World on the Web, Newspaper Connections, Web of Lies and Web Wins! We will use Context Clues, Signal words, recall information  and Answer How questions. For homework the students will silently read for pleasure each day after school at home for  20 minutes.
