Happy Wednesday! This Is It: Our Last Assignment!
Hang in there and finish strong! All missing work must be turned in no later than this Friday, May 15, by 7:00 PM. When you and your family come to school between May 18 and 20, please turn in your literature book, turn in any paperbacks you borrowed from me, and pick up your writing portfolio. Remember that the letter you wrote to yourself on the first day of school is in your portfolio. I will continue to be available the rest of this week between 12:00-2:00 PM for emailed questions. Literature Assignment: Please sign in to Actively Learn and read the poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman. Watch the videos linked there and answer the questions. This is due Wednesday, May 13, by 7:00 PM. Writing Assignment: Please link to the two short videos below. These cover two common errors in student compositions: inappropriate shifts in pronoun person and number; inappropriate shifts in verb tense. When finished with the videos, complete IXL 8th-Grade CC.3 and GG.3. If you watch the videos and look at the IXL tutorial, the exercises will go quickly. These are due Wednesday, May 13, by 7:00 PM. All the best to you! Comments are closed.

Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
