January 14

Literacy development has been working on a couple of different things. We are continuing to read the book Monster and looking for the literary signposts. In addition, we are adding comic-strip creation to our repertoires. Students have been on the site bitstrips.com making avatars and practicing. This week they will use bitstrips to demonstrate their understanding of our vocabulary words.

English Literacy is reading The Trouble with Lemons aloud as a class. We are working on reading fluency. Please encourage your students to read as much as possible.

English 10 finished Of Mice and Men on Thursday, and they were given the essay assignment on Friday. If they submit their essays today, they will have the opportunity to revise them. The due date is Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will be starting a research project. Students will be asked to choose and research a person who has had a significant, positive impact on the world. The final products will be a presentation and a paper.
