After the craziness of the end-of-term work collection / finish up, we are up and running for Term 2! Thank you for your patience :)
English: We are beginning Persuasion. This will take many forms:
Point-of-View
For / Against charts
Vocabulary building (word choice to make what you're saying effective)
Letter Writing
Our focus will remain: AUDIENCE - Who is your audience? What is the best form for that audience? What is the most effective language for that audience?
Homework: Students are to continue reading short stories, novels, etc. at home to build vocabulary and practice the skill of reading. We visit the school library on a regular basis, where students are given the opportunity to check out books. Alternately, a family visit to your local public library is an excellent opportunity for you to be included in the book-choosing experience and become more aware of your child's reading interests. Especially if your child is reading books in a series, I encourage you to take out your own copy and read it in order to promote discussion.
Math: Students are working at various levels / topics. Please refer to intials for each student's suggested homework.
