Hello parents and students,
Today is Wednesday, August 18, 2010 and we have been in school for a week. We are currently working on Unit 1: Fiction, Short Stories, and The Novel.
This week we had a quiz on Genres of Fiction and learned about the various fiction genres. We also began reading our class novel, S.E. Hinton's Rumble Fish. We read 15 minutes per day and work on comprehension questions to assess their understanding of the text.
On tomorrow we will work on elements of plot, and revisit the new vocabulary terms for the upcoming short story, Seventh Grade by Gary Soto. On Friday we will have a short open book quiz on chapters 1-4 of Rumble Fish.
