They should have began their journals on Sunday (1/30/11) and will continue them through Saturday (2/5/11). I will collect them on Monday (2/7/11). They should be writing at least a page in length. We made the journals on this past Friday (1/28/11) so all students should have what they need to complete this assignment.

They will have their final quiz on this list on Friday using context clues. (This is the sentence test.) I will give out the sentences today in class for students to use for studying along with their definitions:) Beginning of 3rd Nine WeeksWe will begin our unit on Informational Text this week. We will also begin reading and discussing literature about the Holocaust. Students will go to the media center on Tuesday (1/225) to begin this discussion led by Mr. Hall.
