Projects: This week we will learn about FDR and the New Deal, and work on those websites. They are coming along!
7th Grade Reading: Students are preparing for our Paideia Seminar on The Outsiders. They will collect evidence during class to respond to 4 questions that I will pose to them next week. I love this assignment. The students always do well, and their academic discussions are so impressive!
8th Grade Reading: Students will continue to read and discuss To Kill a Mockingbird. They are doing a great job thinking critically about race relations, literacy, and justice with this novel. Today we discussed current events with "Week in Rap." As usual, we had some very interesting conversations. I always love conversations with this bunch.
Writing: This week we are taking a break from our state writing prompts and focusing on stamina through journal writing, IXL skills, and sentence diagramming to learn sentence parts. We will do our last unassisted prompt in 2 weeks, beginning with a collaborative prompt next week. It will be argumentative! Students, please check IXL grades on Infinite Campus. You can improve scores and fix zeroes!
Homework:
7th--Read and watch "Week in Rap" on Flocabulary and be ready for a quiz on Wednesday.
8th--20 minutes of reading. Flocabulary quiz Wednesday
