Wednesday, November 27th

Grade 7 students are sharing their book talks this week. I have been completely impressed by the quality of the videos, posters, models and other creations used to teach us about your books.  Thank you for your bravery, professionalism and imagination! * You truly need to keep reading on a regular basis and updating your reading log each day.  I am seeing improvement when it comes to word choice and fluency. I would urge you to  make the choice to practice each day, as this will serve you well in the future.
*7FLA: Your sequels to User Friendly have been such a pleasure to read, if you have not handed in your good copy yet, please do so on Thursday. 
Grade 8 Students: As we wrap up our book talks, we will be using Nelson Literacy 8. We are also looking at persuasive writing and completing a formative piece on how to prepare a strong argument.   If you do not have debate topics in mind that you would like to share, I have many topics to choose from. I look forward to your submissions and I am certain we will have fun meeting our writing, reading and speaking outcomes! :)
