 Language Arts

November 16 - 20

This week in language arts we are beginning our unit on Charles Dickens.  We will be learing about his life and work and beginning to read A Christmas Carol in class.

Homework:

Students should all be finished reading their novels related to Colonial America.  The final assignment for the book is a multi-paragraph essay, which is due this Friday, November 20th.  All the information for this assignment can be found in the packet students received several weeks ago.  There is also helpful information in the Write Source text book, and there is a link for the packet below (just in case!).

 

Thanks!

 Team News

 "ZAP" (an acronym for Zeros Aren't Permitted) is our 8th grade program designed to give all students every possible opportunity to complete their work.  Each Friday, students who have missing work will be "Zapped" with a reminder notice.  The following Monday, those students will be required to stay after school (3:30 - 4:15) to complete their assignments.  Teachers will be available to help as well.

Parents are encouraged to ask their students on Fridays if they received "Zap" notices.  If the work is completed at home and handed in on Monday, the student will not be required to stay after school.

Any students who need extra help or time to work are also welcome to attend the ZAP study hall.  We hope all students who need this opportunity will take advantage of it!
