1/27- 1/31:
*Research Mondays have started. We are working on moving toward the research paper, but will be doing it in stages on Mondays. Today we did some brainstorming about marginalized groups and causes in need of advocacy. Students should have narrowed down their topics to 1-2 by next Monday. *Independent Reading- We do this every day in class. I am encouraging students to read 1-2 books in class every 6 weeks. * Unit 1 Test Feedback -Tuesday in class we spent time working through missed questions. Students found this very helpful. *Review Direct versus Indirect characterization examples. This was a challenging part of the unit 1 test for many students. *Finding Main Idea- We read a short article to find main idea. Students will need this skill for their research Mondays. It is good to practice this at home too. *Introduce Tone Vocabulary. Study definitions and examples. There will be a quiz next Wednesday. *Continue to work on Synthesis Essay. Use feedback from previous CEIs to know where you need to improve. *Literacy practice- On Friday we will start using the computers to practice our reading skills to help improve literacy. If students have headphones that may be plugged into the computers, they are encouraged to bring these to class Friday. We will work on this skill weekly.

Will be ready to view by Friday 1/24. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am sorry I missed you; my son had his youth basketball championship game during Open House.
