REVISED ACTIVITIES FOR THE WEEK OF May 5, 2008
Sixth Grade
You are to continue working on assembling your biographies at home. Remember, the finished copy is due May 8th, so I can grade each one. We will continue to work on grammar: commas, fragments, and run-ons. We will study these through lecture and discussion, board work with original sentences, worksheets, and homework. Students are also giving book talks on a favorite work of literature.
Seventh Grade
We are transitioning from simple to complex sentences, analyzing the parts: what can stand alone, and what can't. Seventh graders received information about the field trip to Trails and Rails. The permission slip must be returned by Friday, May 16th. Seventh graders are also giving book talks on a favorite work of literature.
Eighth Grade
We have transitioned out of participles and into infinitives. We'll be doing practice exercises and original sentences with these this week. The eighth graders are also giving book talks on a favorite work. Finally, we are continuing our short story unit with some Hemingway and Faulkner selections.
