We are off to a great start to this quarter! The LPA Honors Society just began tutoring students who are in need of help in their classes. If you need tutoring please see me and I will assign one to you. Tutoring takes place on Wednesdays from 11:30-12:30. We have also begun rehearsals for our school's production of The Taming of the Shrew. Seventh graders will be performing for the school a modern day adaptation of this play. Here is what's happening in Reading this month:
7th and 8th: We are beginning a nonfiction unit that will define the differences between literary and informative nonfiction. This week we have studied the personal essay, autobiography and memoir. Next week we will study biographies, letters, and journals. The following two weeks will be dedicated to informative nonfiction with scientific journals, historical documents, research papers, newspaper articles, reference materials, and functional text. We will conclude the unit with a group research project.
We are also continuing to work on Buckle Down and have completed Unit 1, part of unit 2, along with practice test form A. We will be reviewing all workbooks and practice tests in class. Unit 2 will be completed by the end of the month.
Thank you and have a great quarter!
