Language6

We are starting our study of historical fiction.  All classes will read a historical fiction novel that should be finished Wednesday, November 1.  I want each student to read a minimum of 10 pages a day in the book.  Historical fiction can be more difficult to read than realisitc fiction, so if they need to read more slowly, or reread, they will have time.

Each night students need to respond on a Reading Response Journal.  The directions are at the top of the journal. 

We are also learning about nouns.  To develop a booklet on common, proper, concrete and abstract nouns, each student needs to bring an old newspaper or magazine to class on Wednesday.

Fourth and fifth period classes will read Letters from Rifka.  I love this book!!!!
