Welcome back!
I hope that everyone enjoyed our (very) long weekend, and has returned to school ready to dive back into Language Arts!
In the eighth grade this week, we will continue to study poetry, focusing our efforts on narrative poetry. Students will learn the purpose and form of this particular form of poetry, as well as the many different places it can be found. Students will also have the opportunity to create their own narrative poem, taking inspiration from a very unusual place.
In the seventh grade we will continue our reading of Anne Frank's diary and fine-tune our summary-writing skills. Students will also continue to add to their lexicon through our study of vocabulary.
While this may be a short week, we will surely be busy!
