It is the week of January 14th-18th, 2008
Eighth Grade:
Monday: No School (NO NEW VOCAB THIS WEEK!)
Tuesday-Friday: Short Story Board Games-Group Activity
Seventh Grade:
Monday: No School (NO NEW VOCAB or SPELLING THIS WEEK!)
Tuesday-Thursday: Puppet show performances
Friday: Re-take Gods/Goddesses Quiz, Reader's Workshop
The puppet shows are a group project. Students were assigned a small group of 3-5 people. They will create a puppet show based on one of the short folk tales in the textbook. The group will need to write their script based on the story, create their puppets and backdrops for scenes. I will provide the Puppet Theatre. The final project will be ready to perform this Tuesday-Thursday. This is a group grade of 100 points.
Conferences are in one week: Jan. 29th from 4-8 (I will be available only from 4-5:30 this night), Jan 31st from 4-8 and Feb. 1st from 12:00-3:00. I hope to see you there!
