ART:
You should have seen a rubric for their first grade of the second quarter, The Human Body project, if they bring it back, with in 2 days signed it is worth 2 points. Mrs. Knoop
ENGLISH:
This past week we have continued with Workshop 2 in our Expert 21 books. We read "Casey at the Bat", "The Cost of Winning", and "Boiling Sports Controversies". We will have our first Inquiry test for the quarter on Tuesday the 10th. The test will be based on the three selections. Afterward, we will read "Raymond's Run". While we work within the workbook, students continue to read their second independent reading novel, completing various interactive bookmarks as they read. When they complete the reading, they will write an essay detailing the theme of the novel. The assignment was distributed before Thanksgiving break and sent home for parents to read about as well. The essay is due Tuesday, December 17th. As always, encourage your child to keep up with the reading. I would also ask that you explain to your child the importance of revising, editing and proofreading all written work. Too many students are handing in assignments that appear quickly written and carelessly thought out. The work would be greatly improved if a little more time and effort were taken to complete any task (this applies to other subjects as well, not just English class).
