7th Grade Reading: Students will continue to answer questions related to our book Two Miserable Presidents. I really feel like the kids are gaining so much knowledge about the Civil War with this book. I am proud of their abilities to read and think critically.
Writing: We will begin our outlines and rough drafts of argumentative essays this week. We have spent a week looking at topics and writing sample opinions on things. Students are really gaining a lot of ground with their organization in writing.
