Week of 1/12-1/16
Now that we have finished our argument letters, we will be checking our progress for the quarter. We will complete one reading test as well as our second Quarterly Writing Assessment.
Also, keep those Reading Logs coming in! All Reading Logs for Quarter 2 are due by January 23, so bring them in by that date in order to receive credit.
Students in LAX, don't forget, your hacked song presentations will be on Friday January 16. We will have a bit more time in class, but be sure to do what you need to do at home so that you can be prepared.

Week of 1/5-1/9
Welcome back!
As we return from vacation, we are finishing and revising our argument letters about fracking. Students will be looking at the rubric as well as using a self-assessment checklist before they turn in their final copy.
In Enrichment, we will be completing a Root Word Challenge. I want to be sure that I am being most efficient with our time, so I will use the results of the challenge to determine which root words we will be studying. Click here for the link for the challenge. When finished with the challenge, check out these games where you can begin practicing working with root words.
Roots and Their Families
It's Greek to Me
Rooting Out Words
Matching Roots and Meanings
Root Word Jeopardy (click on the one player option)
Keep in mind that Reading Logs are due January 23. Students must read 15-20 books in order to receive a 3. If students would like to earn a 4, they must read 21+. Remember that 100 pages = 1 book. Also, remember that your total number of books read form Q1 will carry over into Q2.
