Oh my goodness, I certainly hope all of my students have been reading over the past few snow days. Here are some assignments that you could also be working on, as I reminded you before the snow arrived.
8E and 8FLA: Summative assessment valued at 24 points based on our read aloud entitle, Lisa by Carol Matas. 8ELA we have finished the novel so you can complete all six questions. 8FLA you have not quite finished so you could only do the first 5/6. Some people have been completing the questions as I have been reading, however, if you have not yet started...you know what to do.
7E and 7FLA: Read, read and did I mention read? ;) We will return to The Fog Horn short story by Ray Bradbury. We will be working in small groups when you return to complete the formative assessment together. Do you remember all of the elements of a narrative?
Thank you and have a good day.
Mrs. Thain :)

March 24th Update
Welcome back, and I hope you had an excellent March break. I also hope you made some time to read over your holiday. :)
8ELA and 8FLA: We are finishing our writing and speaking activity this week. Please remember "Three Before Me" before passing in your work. This assignment is summative and worth 32 points so do your best please.
7FLA and 7ELA: We will continue with our Mystery theme. Did you read any mysterious tales over the break? Thank you for sharing your imagination with me within your writing assignments. I truly appreciated your voice, word choice and ideas.
All students in both grades are requested to read every single day for at least 20 minutes. Keep in mind that "reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body." Richard Steele Tatler
Magazines, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, graphic novels...you name it! Facebook and Twitter do not count! ;) * Just a helpful reminder.
