• how to deliver oral presentations effectively
• how to ask questions to evaluate media texts
• the characteristcs of the narrative text
• word study skills (prepositions, text messaging short hand, comma usage, forming adjectives from nouns, and appositives and commas).

A novel study has been assigned and each student has chosen a novel of their choice to read. Presentations will begin on February 8th, 2010. Students should be reading about 20 minutes a night. If you have any questions about this assignment please call (888 8470) or email.
