Projects test is moved from tomorrow to Wednesday.

Projects: Students finished their magazines on the Roaring '20's and will review for their vocabulary and essay test now scheduled for Wednesday.

7th Grade Reading: We will continue to read The Outsiders. The students are LOVING this book and we are having wonderful discussions. I am always impressed with these kids and the depth of their comments and questions. We will read annotate poetry on Wednesday, and today we watched and discussed the "Week in Rap" and took a quiz.

8th Grade Reading: We will read annotate poetry on Wednesday, and today we watched and discussed the "Week in Rap" and took a quiz. Tuesday and Thursday we will read and discuss To Kill a Mockingbird. The students are doing a great job with this book. They are asking questions and making intelligent comments about the events of the novel.

Writing: This week students will, with guidance, complete a narrative writing task put out by the state. After walking them through one, I will have kids do an unassisted task next week. We will focus on using a few different resources to write narratives, and focus on narrative writing techniques.

Homework:
7th--IXL XX.3, read for 20
8th--Read for 20, poetry annotations on "Hoods"
