Mrs. Jeatran and I will be teaming up to teach writing this week. The students will be finishing their "alternate ending" writing assignment on Monday. Tuesday through Friday, students will continue working on their narrative essays. They will be in and out of the computer lab, typing their final drafts. They may not complete their final drafts until their rough drafts have been proofread by either Mrs. Jeatran or myself.
On Friday, and early next week, we will begin our first novels. The 7th grade will read The Giver and the 8th grade will read Twice Upon a Marigold. We will be working on these novels simultaneously, and will use Literature Circles as a method to teach the skills and activities that accommodate the novel.
