Seventh Grade:
We focused on writing this week. Specifically, we worked on improving our sentences and persuasive essay writing. Students created notes from a persuasive writing powerpoint and some writing requirements that I expect from the. Then, they began their writing prompt concerning backpacks in the classroom. We will be continuing the writing focus as the students work on finishing their first persuasive essay and begin another essay for their assessment.
Eighth Grade:
We examined the differences between reading fiction and non-fiction. Students created a foldable for the strategy THIEVES. Part of reading non-fiction is gathering information. The THIEVES strategy is not just for English class. It works really well for Science and Social Studies classes as the majority of their text are non-fiction. Students are continuing their work for their Figurative Language project. I am really excited to see what they will produce.
