Reminders: Welcome back! Third quarter begins January 6th. Second quarter/semester one grades have been submitted and are available to view online through JMC. Second semester is a great time to start fresh, reevaluate your goals, and resolve yourself to be and do better. We all can improve, especially myself. Please continue to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to another great semester!
English 7: Wednesday- A few new things will be incorporated into second semester. Students will have a word of the day that they will be responsible for finding the definition, part of speech, using in a sentence, and identifying a synonym/antonym. This is an easy way for me to introduce new words and encourage their use in class. We will also be doing more proofreading exercises as to sharpen our skills in a variety of areas.
Thursday- Word of the day, proofreading exercise, and review of chronological order with a timeline activity.
Friday- Word of the day, proofreading exercises, and we will be looking at facts versus opinions in different mediums of literature. Students will evaluate sources of information for credibility and validity.
