This will be a time to catch up or get ahead on assignments from any of their classes. The Lunch Bunch will also be a time for silent reading for those students who just wish to work on their reading logs.
If a student is invited to attend, they must come or a NEC will be issued.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS


As we wrap up our Haunted Story writing unit, we will transition into Nonfiction. Students used their knowledge of the Elements of Fiction to compose their original narrative stories with a haunted theme. While we will write more stories this school year, this will be put on hold for our Nonfiction unit. In this unit we will explore more expository writing, introduce persuasive writing, and complete an author study on Gary Paulsen. I can use the Elements of Nonfiction to compose expository, persuasive essays, and biographies.

It has come to our attention once again that not everyone is receiving the emails or has access to the internet.
