November 6 - November 10

English Lit/ English Comp

At the beginning of this week,  students will be working on some cold reads and Study Island.

Toward the middle/end of the week, students will begin the short story, "Danger!  This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!"  We will focus on the characteristics of informational writing, vocabulary, action and linking verbs, and text analysis.

The test will be next Thursday.

Another great way to prepare for the test is to review the skill sections that appear after the story in the textbook.  Many of the questions that appear on the text are taken from these sections.
