We'll begin new units this week with a focus on different literature selections with informational text supplementing and broadening our perspective.
Langauge Arts--1st, 2nd, and 3rd Periods
Meet Steve, Bobo, and James to name a few. They are part of Walter Dean Meyers's cast of characters in his novel Monster. We'll integrate grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary as we venture into the story behind what happens when someone is in the wrong place at the wrong time....or was he?
AC Language Arts--7th Period AC Language Arts
Who done it? Shouldn't that be who did it? We'll let that one stand as we embark on a terrifying journey to Indian Island with Dame Agatha Christie. Students will act out Ten Little Indians as they track the byzantine course of events and try to determine...who done it.
Several assessments will be linked to the Christie unit. Details will follow later this week.
Literary Applications-- 6th Period
Literature circles will be centered on the theme of the holocaust. Students will participate in group novel studies while exploring underlying themes from informational text. Vocabulary test Thursday.
