I am so proud of your focus and continual application of your attention to your work. Hopefully you feel good about yourself and the rather enjoyed the process.

You know, like Super Bowl.

ENGLISH

In English you know have your Writing Tools and your Power Writing under control. Heck you probably have them mastered!

So now it’s on the next big things: 1) how to structure an introduction 2) how to structure a conclusion, and 3) Including elements for convincing/argumentative papers.

You will be engaged in Writing Workshops in class. Activities will have you joining me in the creation of writing, reading other pieces of writing, and creating pieces of your own.

READING

In reading we are now on the Holocaust unit. This is a mature topic and requires your attention not only to the skills of reading, but also the content. We will be applying reading strategies, looking for literary elements, character change, cause and effect, etc. However, we will be diving deep into some essential questions as well. (You recorded these in your spirals.)

VOCABULARY

As far as vocabulary goes… YOU ROCK!!! You are on the second application of using “My Study Calendar” to map out your study schedule and record the strategies you are using.
