Language Arts: Our current unit of study is Literary Essays. Naming the protagonists' character traits in our short stories, will help develop our thesis statements for our essays. Homework during this unit will be to write at home and try out the same strategy that we worked on during the day. During our day, we will use a shared text to try out our writing strategies and for homework students will work with a different short story of their choosing. This homework will not be checked on a daily basis BUT students will be required to produce an in-school literary essay as well as an at-home literary essay. Our goal is finish both prior to Winter Break. There will be daily posts here to display what writing strategies were taught that day. We have access to all of the short stories in class (and the students will all have their own copies) and most can be found online in PDF form.

In Social Studies we were scribes and created our clay tablets with the data we collected.
