Grade Seven Update

Tech Effects: How do changes in technology affect you?

In this unit of study our literacy goals are:

1.    Critical thinking: Asking questions as we read non-fiction pieces to increase our understanding.

2.    Organizing our ideas in writing: text features that we see in various types of reports, articles etc.

3.    How to deliver an oral presentation. (* Do you want to build a robot?) * Insert melody of Frozen song here. J

4.    Analyze the narrative text pattern too using a very suspenseful story! J

5.    Plus some fun surprises too! J  Looking forward to learning with you again this term.

·       Be sure to involve your parents and guardians too. How has technology changed? How does in impact their lives? 
* At home reading requirement remains too. ( 2 hours at home reading per week)

 Great Grade Eight Debates due December 5th. 

*Be sure to refer to our graphic organizer and checklist to ensure you understand all of the criteria. Feel free to conference with me soon to make sure you feel comfortable with your subject matter before debates begin. :) Thanks!
