7th Grade Reading: We are enjoying reading Blood on the River. Students are starting to make impressive connections to book using their prior knowledge from past readings. We have a quiz over figurative language terms on Thursday! The kids are doing really well with these, so I think they are going to do just fine.
Writing: Students will work to complete an argumentative essay, We are currently working on deconstructing one on school uniforms. Students are working together to pull pros and cons out of the text. We will begin prewriting later this week, or on Monday of next week.
