This week, in both the seventh and eighth grade, we will continue our reading of some of the great fictions of our time!
The eighth graders will continue to be amazed by Hawthorne's symbolism while reading and discussing Dr. Heidegger's Experiment. After their reading they will have the opportunity to fully analyze and understand one of the allegorical characters found within, and stretch their creative muscles in the process.
The seventh grade will continue their reading of Guy De Maupassant's, The Necklace. A story full of suspense and turmoil for the unfortunate characters involved. Through this reading, we will be exploring new vocabulary, as well as leaning to use context clues to decipher the meanings of unfamiliar words.
Remember that the end of the first quarter is this Friday. Students will not be attending school, so that their dedicated teachers can post their grades. It is hard to believe that we are already 1/4th of the way through the school year; time flies when you're having fun!
