As you know by now, the 7th and 8th grade classes are combined in all subjects other than Math and Social Studies. In Language Arts, the 7th and 8th grade standards are aligned, so the transition for the students is a smooth one.
Just an update on what's happening in Reading class this week:
Students will begin their short story unit. Two stories will be read this week ("I Confess" and "Dead Man's Path"), and we will focus on literary elements such as satire, irony, point of view as well as conflict. The 7th and 8th graders are also working on a writing assignment for both my class as well as Mrs. Jeatran's. They are composing a creative writing piece -- a story where they have to choose from a list of characters, settings, and plot problems (conflicts).
