Grade 7
This week students will be working on finding the simple subject in inverted declarative sentences and declarative sentences that begin with here and there. Please note that here and there are never simple subjects. Students will also identify the understood you as the simple subject in imperative sentences and identify the simple subject in interrogative sentences. Students will choose differentiated activities to complete such as the direction challenge or a brochure. These activities are geared toward individual levels of performance and meant to scaffold students to a higher level. Students will also begin working on conjunctions and thesis statements.
The vocabulary test this week will be on Tuesday. The words are: impermanent, remnant, opponent, proposition, composition, and deposit.
Students will not have any assignments to complete outside of class besides studying for the vocabulary test.
Grade 9
Students are wrapping up Act II of Romeo and Juliet. This week students will complete a RACERS comparing Romeo and Juliet determining whether or not Juliet is more mature than Romeo and if she teaches him the meaning of true love. Students will cite evidence from the text to support their viewpoint. Students will also participate in an Act II remix project, adapting and performing one of the scenes in another place and time. Students will change the language and the setting, but retain the underlying meaning of the original dialogue. Grading will be based on both the performance and script.
The vocabulary test this week will be on Wednesday.
