Hey Students!

This week, you saw an overview of the 8 Thinking Maps, and we focused on the Circle Map to define what someone or something is.

We are also practicing our writing with the 6+1 Trait of Ideas. We are learning how to use fresh ideas with a clear topic sentence and detailed supporting sentences. We will further develop these into longer 3-5 paragraph essays.

We will continue to build vocabulary by using Context Clues (direct and indirect) and will apply those skills, along with others, as we begin reading the short story, “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe. There will be a quiz on “Cask” and your study guide is due on Mon. 10/10.

Please continue with SSR and read at least 30 minutes a day just for fun! Have a great weekend!
