Projects: Students are working in their groups to figure out their museum exhibit plan for World War 2. Also, my students will learn about several major battles this week. Ask them about Pearl Harbor, Battle of Midway, Battle of Stalingrad, and DDay!

7th Grade Reading: This week we will focus on our book club novels and how students use Habits of Discussion and Format Matters to move their discussions along. Reading responses are due every Tuesday and Thursday for these, and I'm expecting them to be lengthy and detailed. Students must show effort of going deep on these and using evidence, evidence, evidence!!

8th Grade Reading: Students will read Night in their book clubs and use Habits of  Discussion and Format Matters to make their points. I will take grades for this every day they meet, so students need to make sure they come prepared!

Writing: We will continue with grammar skills review, small responses to articles (backed up with evidence), and also do some SBAC practice. It's almost testing time!!

Auction this Thursday----Please send goodies in if possible. :)  We will at least one more after this.


Homework this week:

7th Grade: Book Club responses due Tuesday and Thursday; read for 20/write responses

8th Grade: Book Club reading every night; come prepared for a possible quiz on Thursday!
