Team Pride Assignments: Language Arts and Social Studies 2/9/15

Homework Expectations

The primary purpose of homework is practice, an extension of the day’s work, time to work on long-term projects or an investigation of something for class discussion, not introduction of a new skill. Students should be able to complete it independently. If unable to complete an assignment independently, please notify your teacher. 7th—8th grade teachers work together as a team to plan for approximately one hour nightly, unless a student opts to take on extra courses or enrichment, such as language, algebra, music, band, etc.

Language Arts and Social Studies 2/9/15

L.A.

Great job so far with the literature circles! Before we read this morning, we are watching these three videos. First, you will be watching a 7 minute video on the spread of Yellow Fever in 1793. Next, you will watch a short book project that covers the novel we are already reading (Fever). The last video you will watch is a short snippet of an interview with the author, Laurie Halse Anderson.
