Poetry finals are due Friday, March 5th. Make sure you have your packets in on time! Next week we will be doing an overview of informative and literary nonfiction. In the weeks following, we will study Greek mythology. Each student will choose a Greek god or goddess to study and do a formal presentation on. The presentation will include a poster board or power point visual aid and a formal speech.

This week we are wrapping up our informative nonfiction unit with functional text and a review of reference materials. We learned how to play Almania, a game which teaches students how to use an almanac effectively, and are now beginning a group cultural research project. Students will be responsible for researching a custom or holiday from outside the U.S. and presenting a poster board to the class with a formal speech. If there is a special dish they would like to prepare to accompany their presentation, they may do so. The project will be due on March 10th and presentations will be given on the 10th and 11th.
