March 25 - March 29

ELA 7

This week students will begin reading The Testing.  It is a fictional dystopian novel set after the Seven Stages of War.  The world is almost destroyed, and the Earth is devastated from chemicals.  The few people that remain set up colonies in different parts of the country to revive what once was the United States before people destroyed the environment.  This novel connects to the essential question that we have been focusing on: What effects do people have on the environment?

In addition to reading the novel, students will be working on the elements of plot.  We will do some reader's theater throughout the week, and students will identify the parts of the plot in each scene as students perform.

All Study Island grade change correction forms are due by the end of the day on Wednesday.

The Study Island blue ribbon race grand prize winner is period 7/8.  Every student demonstrated mastery of every ELA standard!  Congratulations to the winners!



Have a great week!
