ELA 7
Students often ask me how ELA relates to real life. I'm going to spend part of the next two days showing students real-life applications for ELA. We are going to apply the skills encountered in our error-embedded passages to seeking (pretend) employment. We are going to explore the Bureau of Labor and Statistics website and do some research on potential careers. After students find out more about a potential career, they are going to fill out job applications. Students will be required to use close reading skills, proper capitalization, punctuation, word choice, etc.
Students will also begin the next round of benchmark testing this week. We will begin Thursday and continue into next week.
Please make sure your student has completed all active Study Island assignments. Remember, students may keep working at a topic until they are satisfied with their grades. This means a student may work at something until he/she earns a 100%.
Thank you!
Mrs. Fowler
