This past week in English we completed various tasks (an in-class novel in 7-1, poetry in 7-2, drama in 7-3). We also visited the library for our second quarter Independent Reading Workshop novels. Students are to bring their novels to class every day, where we will engage in reading and analyzing sections of the novels, as well as focusing on vocabulary. Next week, we will continue the same workshop. Requirements have been explained to the students and are posted in Google Classroom. Please encourage your children to keep up with the reading. There is time being given in class for the workshop, but they should be working at home as well.
