ELA/Writing
This week, we will continue exploring the genre of memoir. Students will embark upon some new memoir techniques in writing and we will be reading a variety of lyrics, short stories and poetry related to heroes. We will be exploring these questions as we analyze this range of literary texts: What is a hero? What tools can help me to analyze short stories, poetry, and lyrics?
Civics
In Civics, we will continue our Launch Unit looking at types of governments, dissecting our essential questions for the unit and making predications about the units to come. Students are also embarking on an election research project. Last week, we narrowed down issues that are important to the students in this election, looked at the bias present and validity of sources, and began initial research on each candidate's position.
Please feel free to reach out if you have questions/concerns to [email protected]. Looking forward to a stellar year.
