Novel Studies galore this month!!
This week, (if you could even call it that? 2 days!!), we finished up three novels!
6th Grade: Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman
7th: Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
8th: Running Out of Time by M. Haddix
-we are finishing up on our maps - show pictures once they are done!
We've been busy reading, completing short response, learning literary terms and analyzing the novel.
We've also been super busy writing opinion essays (6) and informational (7/8)!
Many of my ideas were adapted from Pinterest/TPT.
Take a look! ;)
8 th grade - learned about the different points of view! They mastered how to identify them... But, can they write them? :) this was a lesson adapted from a blog called "Teaching with a Mountain View". She has the best ideas... I encourage you to look her up and follow her!!
December is going to be a busy & productive month!! :)
7- "Christmas Carol"
8- "Gift of the Magi"
6 - "Bad Pets - Save Christmas"
Writing - skills will vary! Spelling? Convention? Word choice? Writing for information/argument?
(Can't wait to get back!)
But, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
