Morning!
Today is Tuesday April 2, 2013.


Library 8P:







Today's class consists of fun, journalistic writing. You will be searching articles on a particular issue, reading the content, and practicing how to formulate a thesis based on the facts in the article. Ms. Purvis has some fun articles for you to read. Good Luck!


Essay Writing: 8P and 8T:


Building on the last few weeks, students will take their Prewriting paragraphs and begin to formulate Thesis'. As a class, we will develop a few examples. Then students will be able to practice on their own. Students will need to provide two attempts at a thesis by next week's class.





Morning!
Today is Wednesday April 3, 2013.


Grammar: 8P and 8T:

Today's class will be the beginning of a new unit on Mechanics (no, nothing to do with cars, sorry Robel!). This unit begins on page 199 of the text. We will work on exercises until page 204. Page 205 is for homework.



Library 8T

Novel Study 8P and 8T:



In lieu of my absence last class, we will first discuss what was covered while I was gone. Next, we will continue reading our new novel study book titled "The Skin I'm In". We will read Chapters 3 and 4 and discuss the book as a class. In addition, students will be creating a Glogster of the main character Maleeka. I look forward to seeing your creations!


Sightlines:

Again, due to my absence, we did not get a chance to discuss this story; however, I think it is an important story to cover. The story (and the man) are interesting ideas to discuss as a class. Therefore, today's class will be a continuation of last week.The story is titled: ``Raoul Wallenberg". It is located on pages 152-156 of the text. We will work on question 2 in class. I strongly suggest you Google Mr. Wallenberg (to have more insight into the history) as he played a crucial role during WW2 and the Nazi's treatment of the Jews.



Have a Good Day.
Ms. Berry
