November 27 - November 30

ELA 7

This week we will be wrapping up "Danger!  This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!"  Students reread the story today and did a written analysis using the ICE (introduce, cite, explain) method.  The selection test is on Friday.  Please make sure that your student studies throughout the week.  The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is often referred to as "silly season," and some students need an extra push to keep them going in the right direction.

"Text Structure Individual Session" is due on Thursday.  Students had about 30 minutes to work on it during class today.  All students should strive to earn a 100% between now and the due date.

Last week we completed an escape room based on the short story "The Landlady."  The students had a lot of fun!

They won again!

Students in my 5th/6th period brought in decorations and decorated the classroom for the holiday season on the early dismissal before break.  Thank you to Michael Spotts and Mekenzie Evans for coordinating this effort!  The room looks great!

Have a great week!

November 19 - November 23

ELA 7

*Please note that there is an early dismissal on Wednesday, and no school Thursday-Monday.

The snow days really derailed my plans!  I am going to put "Danger!  This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!" on hold until after Thanksgiving break.  It is relatively short, so we will reread when we get back and go from there.

Students will review plot on Monday and complete the Study Island individual session.  This assignment is due on Wednesday.  Students have an unlimited number of attempts on this assignment.  Please urge your student to strive for a 100%.

Back by popular demand is the escape room!  Students will read/annotate a short story called "The Landlady," and complete a set of challenges that correspond with the selection.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Fowler
