Good morning!!
It was a bit of a crazy week with our unexpected snow day off, but we still managed to do a lot this week.
We are edging closer to end of Trimester 2 on March 2. If your student is missing any work it must be turned into me no later than March 1.
7th Literature:
This was the last week we worked on our Character Analysis and I am very excited to see what the students wrote. We will be watching the film version of And Then There Were None starting on Monday. The film is rated TV-14. If you DO NOT want your student to watch the film please send me an email and I will give them an alternative assignment.
We will also begin working on Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl. The students will be doing a Socratic Seminar for this book. They will have a packet to fill out where they need to answer questions and provide textual evidence to back up their answers. At the end of the book we will have an all class discussion led by the students using these packets.
