Hey there super seventh grade scholars!
This week brings us into the month of March, the semester is flying by! There are some exciting things planned for this week, check it out: Day 15: Monday, February 27 In class: You will be presenting your spoken word poems to the class. We will use this rubric to assess your performance and poem. The presentation is your largest class work grade of the semester. Homework Assignment (due Day 16): Read Scholar Choice book for 30 minutes nightly. *Parent Tip: What has helped get in reading minutes with my own children is moving up bed time by a half hour. The kids have the choice to sleep or read. Reading suddenly always seems more interesting at that point:) Day 16: Wednesday, March 1 In Class: We will begin reading C.S. Lewis' classic, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This novel is set in England during WW1. Today's lesson will focus on the background of both the author and the story in order to understand the author's perspective (and potential bias) as well as the setting and cultural norms found in the novel. We will assign copies of the novel that will need to be brought to and from school each day throughout the remainder of this unit. Homework (due on day 17): Study the C.S. Lewis Bio Vocabulary (LWW #1) on Quizlet or using the handout in the packet sent home- be prepared for a quiz on Monday. Also, complete any unfinished questions in the packet. Ever Most Sincerly, The teacher who writes this blog:)
