ELA 7
This week we will be wrapping up "Danger! This Mission to Mars
Could Bore You to Death!" We will focus on comprehension, analysis, conventions, and craft and structure.
We started working on action and linking verbs last week and will continue to practice this week. This can be quite difficult for a lot of students. The corresponding Study Island assignment is due by the end of the day on Monday. I highly recommend having your student do the conventions additional practice at home this week to better prepare for the next selection test.
Students have been doing a lot of work with the ICE method (introduce, cite, explain). In order to demonstrate mastery of this method for providing textual evidence, students will complete a written analysis of the text using ICE.
I'm going to schedule the next selection test for Monday, November 25th. Please make sure that your student studies throughout the week and on Sunday. The time of year between now and Christmas is often referred to as "silly season," and some students need an extra push to keep them going in the right direction. I started to notice the start of "silly season" last week.
Please note that students will miss their morning classes on Thursday in order to watch a performance of Macbeth in the high school auditorium.
Have a great week!
