English/Language Arts-
We are doing a mugshot and word of the day (WOD) every day in class.
We finished reading Flowers for Algernon and made inkblots similar to those Charlie would have seen in the story. He took the Rorchach inkblot test. We are going to watch the movie starting tomorrow if we finish the MAP English Language Arts test in time to start the movie.
We have being MAP testing since last Friday. This is the quarterly practice test we do to prepare for the CRCT. If you would like to know how your child performed on these please contact me.
We are also writing in journals daily to practice writing. The Georgia Middle School Writing Test for 8th grade will be given in January when we return from Christmas break. It would be a good idea to practice writing paragraphs at home. Details and descriptive language are areas of concern with most of my students. Using proper English through out the writing process is also essential in order to pass. And lastly, keeping to the subject so that the paper has a clear message.
