I would like to start off this post by saying that I cannot believe it is already December! This school year is flying by! My grades for second marking period are done and up to date. I have submitted them for Report Cards that will be going out on Friday. Today is the first day of the third marking period. This marking we will be focusing on reading The Giver. All students are expected to start bringing their books next Monday. We will not finish reading the book before we leave for break. We will continue when we return because the break is half way through the third marking period.
Today in Language Arts the students reviewed what it means to peer edit. We focused specifically at looking at ideas and organization. Final Drafts of our Great Lakes Essay will be due on Friday. We will continue to edit tomorrow and Wednesday. The students are also preparing to debate about video games. They wrote essays and researched this position. We will be preparing for debate that we will be having later this week and we will use the information to help us prepare.
Homework:
1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Edit Great Lakes Paper for Ideas and Organization
3. Library Day Wednesday
4. Vocab. Test Friday
5. Bring Giver Book Monday
Have a great evening!
hi miss tralor
do you want me to fix my great lakes paper or am I doing it tomorrow
Fadel,
I realize you have left me a note. You don’t need to post it multiple times. If I happen to look at my blog while I am at home, I will respond. If not, you will have to ask me before school the next day. That being said, we are going to continue to edit in class tomorrow. The final draft is not due until Friday.
