Dear Students and Parents,
Here is what to expect this quarter:
7th: We will be finishing The Diary of Anne Frank and each week we will work on new vocabulary, take a quiz, write a journal entry that causes us to reflect on our own lives, and do a creative project surrounding the theme of identity. Great job on your "Me Bags!" After we finish this novel, it will be time to take the AIMS test. For the rest of the year, we will work on a folklore unit.
8th: We are now reading Animal Farm and should finish this short novel in the next two weeks. We will have a vocabulary quiz each week, learn new literary terms, take daily comprehension quizzes, participate in class discussions, and discover the political situation that Orwell's famous fable exposes. We will take a final written exam and watch the film version of the story the week before the AIMS test. After AIMS we will read To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. We will conclude the year with a unit on Greek mythology.
Have a great quarter!
Mrs. Rubasch
