PTA Update March 30 - April 3

English

This week in English we continued our analysis of the novel The Testing. We have been looking through the text for evidence that helps the author develop the characters, conflict, and theme. We have also been using inquiry to develop a deeper understanding of the text. In addition, we have continued practicing our critical reading and writing skills. Next week, we will complete the novel reading and review poetic devices.
