LA - Today was F day so another block schedule where I do not see every 8th grade student. Today they read "Louisa May Alcott's Civil War Journal and also a story on Abe Lincoln. This is to give student's more background information on the Civil War, since students are reading historical fiction novels based on the Civil War. They also had to do 3 grammar exercises on Appositive's. Once students completed all of their classwork they were free to continue reading their novels. HW - novels are to be completed by Tuesday May 3rd. I will be introducing their writing assignment on Wednesday may 4th.
