Projects: Students performed their songs about the Boston Tea Party today. Tomorrow they will create a newscast about the first shots of the American Revolution.
8th Grade Reading: Flocabulary's "Week in Rap!" There were a lot of stories in the news today, so we will have to finish up tomorrow and take a short quiz. Students need to come to class prepared to discuss their book club books, along with their "Book Club Thoughts" filled out.
7th Grade Reading: "Week in Rap!" We read and discussed all of the news events, and students took a short quiz over what we talked about. Tomorrow Book Clubs meet, so it's important that students have done their reading and have their "Book Club Thoughts" papers filled out before they start discussions.
Writing: We reviewed homophones and learned a new Root of the Week (cardi/o). Students spent a good amount of time writing their Loyalist vs. Patriot papers.
Students who didn't score well on their Articles of Confederation quiz last week will have an opportunity to take another one on Thursday. It will be a short answer version of the multiple choice one they took last week.
No poetry this week for 7th or 8th graders. We will focus on book clubs instead. :)
