Projects: Students were given the final project for our American Revolution unit and put into groups to complete it. They will be creating an ABC digital book covering all aspects of the Revolution.
7th and 8th Grade Reading: Flocabulary--we watched this week's "Week in Rap" and held discussions. Students are working on going back into the text to check accuracy and make sure they are responding correctly to main ideas. Homework for both blocks is to complete all book club reading and do their "book club thoughts." Last week some responses did not meet expectations and students were asked to redo them in study hall. Students should be taking care to write thorough responses in all areas of the "book club thoughts" worksheet. Book Club thoughts are due both Tuesday and Thursday this week, and books need to be finished by next Tuesday.
Writing: We did a great TRIBES activity today called Tower Building. It was an activity based around nonverbal communication. Even the reflections were fantastic!
We will start narrative writing based in the American Revolution this week. Students need to put their creative thinking caps on and get to it! Our root of the week is "dict" and we will continue with IXL grammar/punctuation skills.
