November in Room 10!
7th Grade Reading/Language Arts
We have started our realistic fiction writing workshop unit! Each student will write a realistic fiction short story by going through the writing process. Along the way, we will study how fiction writers develop their characters, plot, settings, and more.
8th Grade Reading/Language Arts
We are continuing to study Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" and reviewing how to write a literary analyis essay, which we learned in detail last year. Each student will write a literary analysis essay arguing whether the narrator of the story is insane or sane.
7th Grade Religion/Peace
For All Saints' Day, each student is choosing a saint who is interesting or important to them and researching them in order to complete a project and presentation. We are also focusing on the virtues of thankfulness and gratitude in honor of Thanksgiving this month.
