To kick off the last trimester, students will be reviewing prepositions (including memorizing a list of 47 in order) and interjections. With the trait of fluency being the writing emphasis, knowing how to start sentences with prepositional phrases will add variety and interest to essays. Students will receive their preposition list on Monday, 2-28 and will need to have them memorized by Thursday, 3-10.
Starting Tuesday, 3-7 students will write an expository essay based on the novel Deathwatch by Robb White. Expository means to show or explain, so students will explain how Deathwatch is an example of literary conflicts. This writing piece is due on Monday, 4-4. Students will have eleven class periods to complete their essays besides having time for library and lab experiences. Concerning points, the essay is worth 100, so submitting it will make a huge difference in the overall grade.
Afterwards, students will begin reviewing for the CRT (state assessment) followed by a joint project with science.
Thanks for all the hard work thus far and carry on ,
