Literature
Today, we completed our dramatization of The Diary of Anne Frank, Act I: Scene 5. Since the scene includes a celebration of Hanukkah, we watched a brief clip about the holiday. We then began answering the Literary Analysis questions #5, 6a, and 6b on p. 593. Students should use the ACE strategy for their responses. These are due at the beginning of class on Tuesday. Composition We continued to work on our argumentation essay about Heifer International and our school service project. Students received an outline of the assignment last Friday, March 18. Today, we read a pamphlet from Heifer about the Read to Feed program and the many animals and other items Heifer provides. Students began gathering research for their arguments by filling in a "pro-con" graphic organizer. We will continue reading articles and websites this week. Independent Reading Students are assigned to finish their books by Tuesday, March 29. There are no more surveys. Students will make a final presentation about their book later next week. IXL No Skill Sets are assigned this week. Homeroom We will rehearse the Living Stations of the Cross tomorrow afternoon. STEM Day Photos of our March 18 "Zip Line" activity are posted at the STEM Days link. Comments are closed.
