Welcome to Term 2!
This term we will be continuing to work on Writing Revolution strategies while also reading the novel Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds. We will be analyzing theme and using text evidence to support our ideas. Afterwards, in Unit 4, we will be analyzing arguments and forming our own as well.
Notice_and_Note_Literary_Signposts
Right now in ELA we are practicing the notice and note literary signposts. Soon we will begin reading the novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven by MItch Albom. We will focus on the signposts as well as other literary elements.
What's going on this week?
9th grade English has been researching Temple Grandin and we have been learning so much! We are culminating our research by viewing the film about her life. Next, we will be composing a research essay about her.
