Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break. I cannot believe it is the last week of the second marking period. This school year is passing so quickly! Grades are completely up to date. At this point, the only grade the students should have left are their reading logs which are due on Friday. I will be submitting grades on Friday at 3:05 pm. Any assignment turned in after that time will not be accepted.
Our class is beginning a new reading and writing unit this week. We have started to discuss figurative language in class and how it can be used to enhance writing for the reader. We started off reviewing similes and metaphors in class by defining what these terms mean and then identifying their use in song lyrics.
Tomorrow we will begin to discuss argumentative writing in class. I have also started meeting with students to review their personal narratives and set new writing goals for their argumentative pieces.
Have a great evening!
Homework:
