Happy New Year!

We are starting a new theme called "Tech Effects". This theme will provide an opportunity for students to continue to develop their reading and writing skills as they read about technological changes and how they affect people. They will learn
  • how to ask questions as they read
  • how to organize ideas in their writing
  • 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.
