November 14th to 18th Update

Grade 7: Our new theme is Tech Effects. Have you asked your parents/guardians what technology was really popular when they were in grade seven? :)
Narratives and Reading Ladders were a huge commitment and I thank you for your effort in all areas. Please see my feedback in SAS and in Google Docs if you submitted work through my Google Classroom. All reading ladders will be graded by the end of this week. I had over 100 narratives to read and some were 26 pages typed so they took an extensive period of time to read and comment one. It was SO worth it because I have witnessed growth in your writing already and we are only in November! Can you tell I am proud of you? 


Please keep reading each week at home for two hours per week. * You can decide which schedule works best for you. If you want to work ahead, look at our goals for our new theme and do some research on inventions you would love to see. What will your robot be able to do? Will it be as impressive as the robots in use in hospitals and hotels? :)

Grade 8: Debate research continues, be sure to record all websites and sources that you use to defend your argument. Do you remember our success criteria we chose that shows what a strong debate has to have? We will review in class. At home reading requirement remains. See me for a copy of MLA format to help you give credit to your sources. 
* If you were out due to illness or did not choose a topic as of Friday, please see me and one will be provided for you. 

Thank you and have a great day! :)
