#RISEUP!

Our school begins a brand new "chapter" as the arts wing opens and our cafeteria service begins. On Monday we have a "B" schedule as we enjoy our first service in the new chapel. Friday is a "B" schedule as well, when you will have a chance to see the 8th grade TED ED Club projects. You will learn more about this on Friday.

Day 1: You will receive information about the next writing assignment. Your journal entry for this week will be to construct a poem. I will explain the details in class.
Day 2: I will explain the last piece of our verb unit. You will add information regarding essay structures to the writing section of your G/W notebook. I will check on your Irregular Verbs Chart.
Day 3: How to create an effective 8-sentence paragraph, work on poem. If poem is completed, begin researching facts for the essay.
Day 4: Present your poem to your classmates. EVERYONE needs practice speaking in front of a group.

HOMEWORK:

Continue with Membean. Next test will be 1/31 or 2/1 - your Day 2.
Continue reading Peak and annotating for conflict (I will go over this on Monday).
