GRAMMAR:
This week will be filled with Units 1 and 2 reviews and our final assessments for the First Quarter.
– Wednesday: Review
– Thursday: Unit 2 Assessment
– Friday: Units 1-2 Cumulative Assessment
READING:
Our final reading assessment for First Quarter will be Matchbook Chapter Summaries. See instructions below. This will be done primarily in class and is due on Friday.
Matchbook Chapter Summaries:
– Students will create summaries for Chapters:
– 1-9
– 10-21
– 22-35
– 36-48
– (49-57 and 58 – End will be completed at the end of the novel)
– One the outside of the matchbook, students draw and color their favorite scene from the chapters above. On the inside of the matchbook, students write a summary of the chapters. Students will write a 5-7 sentence summary; no more, no less. This really forces them to pick and choose the most important events to include in their summaries.
– Paste summaries inside a file folder
– Students then add the finishing touches by decorating the cover of the file folder.
WRITING:
Again, as this is the final week of the First Quarter, we will be focusing on our final assessments. Students will be busy finalizing their drafts and publishing their writing on Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday – Friday, they will be completing their final Expository Writing piece for this quarter and put into practice what they’ve learned so far.
All assessments will be sent home for review and signing once completed and graded.
BIBLE:
