All 7th grade English students have a project due on THURSDAY 2/25!

They need to find a movie or book that is an example of a Romance, create a visual of the hero’s journey, and write a paragraph.  The project rubric is on a BRIGHT YELLOW sheet of paper.

Same as Quarters 1 and 2, all Challenge Reading students are expected to read SEVEN BOOKS a quarter.  They must fill out a quick 5-question worksheet when a book is complete.

Here is a schedule to keep them on pace with their reading (went home on red paper):

Reading Goals

March 5 = 2 books finished

March 19 = 4 books finished

April 1 = 5 books Finished

Spring Break = April 2 to 11

April 23 = All 7 books due

I hope everyone is enjoying their snow days!  I know I am!  I’ve been reading, sleeping, and watching movies.

Currently Reading: Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

Movie Watched: Up (Pixar)

To all the parents that came in to meet with me, THANK YOU!

To all the students, take some time to READ over break!

Both 7th and 8th graders have Book Reports due on December 10th!

They have to pick one of the following topics to write about.  They MAY NOT just write a summary of the book.

Topic 1- Write about how you learned about the main character’s personality through their actions in the book.

Topic 2- Write about three conflicts the main character faced during the book.

Topic 3- Write about a theme that developed during the book and the events that clarify this theme.

Ms. Hughes has been showing students example essays in class, and would be happy to set up appointments with students (before school, lunch, or after school) to help them plan out their 5 paragraph essay.
