ELA - This week, we will continue our novel studies (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Room 316 and Sci-Fiction Novels for Room 311). Students should follow the reading calendar (posted on the homework page & google classroom) and complete their annotations and chapter summaries.
Writing - We have started our unit on Journalism and students are enjoying the self-paced modules from the Newsliteracy Project Checkology program. We will begin working on crafting news articles of students choice using an inverted pyramid format.
Civics - We are exploring the Constitution and the principles within. Students will work on creating visuals to represent these principles this week. We will also look at the Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment, as well as comparing the process of creating a new school with the process of founding a new nation.
