It's Spirit Week!
This week is sure to be packed with fun, frenzy and, well . . . SPIRIT!
In the eighth grade this week, we will be learning more about irony, more specifically, verbal irony and how it is effectively used in writing. We will also be finishing our reading of The Most Dangerous Game.
Once finished with the story, students will have the opportunity to take all that they have learned and produce a piece of persuasive writing, using the story as the base. Once the writing itself has been completed, students will have the opportunity to add a creative flair to the assignment!
In the seventh grade, we continue our work on our scary stories. Students are using all that they have learned about mood and tone to create some truly creepy, yet creative, tales of terror!
