LA for Tuesday, January 19th

Virtual School Reading Response questions due on Tuesday!
1-4
Double check spelling, justify your answers and be sure to submit your best work.

Grade 7 Language Arts for January 13th, 2010

I was truly impressed by the quality of the answers given within the reading response to "User Friendly" by T. Ernesto Bethancourt. I would encourage parents to talk with your child about the technology that you believe has had the biggest impact on society. The Tech Effects unit covers: literal, inferential and evaluative questions
how to organize ideas in writing
narrative text patterns
how to deliver oral presentations
word study skills such as using prepositions, comma usage,
adjectives, nouns, as well
as expanding our vocabulary.
These outcomes are covered within class, however, I would ask that students ready the novel or literary piece of their choice at home for at least 20 minutes each day to build fluency and vocabulary. Thank you! Mrs. Thain :)
