Grade 7 LA: Bystander News Report Presentations continue on Monday. Please see your handout and graphic organizers to guide you through the script, witness interview and conclusion. Your summary must only include one main event that took place in the novel, but it must be in chronological order. ( Like the example I gave you.) :)
Read for at least two hours per week outside of school time. Some read
15 minutes here and there, others have a set time they use each
week...as long as you are reading I am happy. :) * No school Friday...hint hint...a perfect chance to catch up if you fell behind on your reading this week.
P.S Our new Tech Effects unit has begun. I encourage you to chat about technology at home. What have been the biggest changes that you have witnessed since you were in grade seven? :) What technology do you appreciate the most? We will be reading some high interest stories, writing about various topics and using technology too. :)
Grade 8 LA: Book Talk Presentations continue and I must say that I have been completely thrilled by the samples I have witnessed thus far. Thank you for taking pride in your work and being so brave to share with others. I am very proud of you.
We will finish The Outsiders next week and we will begin to work on your Outsiders presentations. I have a handout and graphic organizers to guide you along the way. We will construct success criteria together to ensure that expectations are clear.
Read for at least two hours per week outside of school time. Some read

No school Friday...hint hint...a perfect chance to catch up if you fell behind on your reading this week.*
P.S My Reading Progress Reports will be completed your first class back. I met my reading goal for this week...have you?
Thank you and have a great day!
