March 8-11

Advanced LA
We will be finishing up our pronoun unit and having a short test on Friday, March 11. Students have been creating poems, writing a journal and completing some review sheets to practice pronoun use.

Advanced Reading
We are more than half-way through The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Students will review for half of the period on Tuesday and take a quiz over Ch 11-14. I anticipate we will get through Chapter 19 by the end of the week. Some activities will include a "Reader's Theater" for Chapter 17, discussion of chapters and predicting and lastly looking in depth at our main character Bruno and how naive he really is!

Language Arts - periods 5,7
Classes will begin a pronoun unit in which they will create a poem using the subject or theme of water. Students will also work on a proofreading activity to practice correct pronoun use.

Reading 6,8
With the completion of our classroom novel The Wanderer, we will introduce the final book project. It will be explained in full detail to students on Tuesday, but I have also attached the assignment details and rubric below. The final project will be due on Monday, March 14, and is worth 80 points. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the project.
