Social Studies 7A - Test for chapter 7 on Monday, April 26th.  7B - Test for chapter 7 on Wednesday, April 28th.   Language Arts - ALL CLASSES Read for 15 minutes each night to work towards your AR goal.  We will be starting Literature Circles on Thursday or Friday of next week.  Each night, students will have a section to read in a novel and a role sheet to complete.  They will discuss the reading and their role sheets in their literature circle groups the following day.  It is VITAL to the success of the group that each person completes their reading and role sheet each night.  Your group is counting on you!  Students will have a different role each night, and each role is explained on the corresponding sheet. Role sheets are posted on this site in the "Documents" section under the calendar.  If students forget their sheet at school they can print one at home, or copy it down and complete it. Students will be evaluated on their role sheets (which need to be put in a separate duotang), their participation in the group discussion, and a final group project which will be presented to the class at the end of the unit.

7A Social Studies - Test tomorrow on chapter 7. 7A, 7B & 7C Language Arts - Read for 15 minutes each night.  Good copies of speeches were due on Friday.  There are still some students who have not handed them in.    

I am re-posting this sheet for a student who is still working on this project.  This has already been completed by all students except for one, so it's not homework!

LANGUAGE ARTS - ALL STUDENTS   The oral presentations of formal speeches will begin on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010.  Speaking order will be determined by random draw, so ALL STUDENTS need to be ready to give their speech on Tuesday, April 6th.   Students have been working on their speeches in class and will continue to work on them in class during the week of March 29th.  They should also be working on them at home.  It is expected that students will research their topic.  They have had time in the computer lab and access to the library at school, but can do additional research at home if they need to.   Written copies of speeches are due on Friday, April 16th, including a works cited (bibliography) page.  Rubrics for the oral presentation of the speech and the written copy of the speech are attached below.   Students should also be reading their AR novels at home every night for at least 15 minutes.
