September 30 - October 4

ELA 7

This week students will finish "A Simple Act."  We are wrapping things up with author's point of view and adverbs.  Students are building on what they learned about point of view during the last story.  They are looking at the use of weighted words and whether or not a passage is objective or subjective.  

The "A Simple Act" selection test is on Friday.  Please have your student study a little bit each night leading up to the test.  Looking over the closure quizzes is very helpful.  Copies of my study guide and additional practice can be found on last week's homework blog post.

Theme (Study Island) is due by the end of the day on Wednesday.  Students may complete this topic as many times as they like until they earn their desired grade.  I did push back the due date because I was out last week. 

*Please note that some students are falling behind on their Study Island assignments.  Students are given at least one class period during school per topic.  Some of them are not using their time wisely, and it is going to start being reflected in their grades.  All past due assignments will become zeroes if not submitted by the end of the day on Wednesday.



Have a great week!

Keystone Workshop

Students have finished their constructed responses and are completing literary point of view in Study Island.  Are we move through literary point of view, we will move into author's purpose.
