Math- TEST THURSDAY
We are finishing up chapter 6, expressions, this week. Tuesday and Wednesday this week will be review days. We will use fun games and well as 2 practice tests to make sure that students are prepared for their test this Thursday. Extra credit is due by 9am Friday morning, but is preferred Thursday, the day of the test. Science By the end of this week, students will be 2 weeks into their at home cell project. By now students should have begun researching their 10 organelles and getting supplies (as needed) for their projects. This Friday will be a check-in day. Students must provide evidence that they are working their way though their projects. Work should be 30-40% complete, as about half of the allotted time will have passed by Friday. Evidence can be photos of the project so far (email, Remind, or on phones), the actual notes or project itself, or sharing a Google doc or slide show. This check-in IS part of the overall final grade, so it should not be missed. Please refer to the assignment for all the details. English Language Arts, Reading and History Writing : "My Opinions" looks great in Google Classroom. I really hope to have them all graded by February vacation. Our next writing in on writing fiction. Before vacation, I would like students to complete a story map of a story they plan on writing in class as a 5 paragraph story. The story map will make them identify the most important parts of a story like characters, setting, inciting incident , events in rising and falling action , a climax and a resolution. This is a fun writing assignment to do in class because students can write whatever type of fiction they want. Reading: Students will be reading the poetry of and inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. They will be identifying important literary elements and figurative language in this work. We continue reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The universal themes in this important curriculum book shine through. We've learned about whitewash, met Huckleberry Finn and gone on Tom and Becky Thatcher's first date! History:The Illustrated Greek Timeline is due on Tuesday. The remaining part of the week will be about Greek gods and goddesses and the mythology of the Trojan War. Comments are closed.
