Language Arts- Mrs. Phelps

Reading: This is a review week as we wrap up Unit 2 on Ancient American Civilizations! I have enjoyed learning alongside them and am looking forward to seeing their final Codex projects. They will be hung in the halls for awhile and then sent home. 

Morphology: Concepts to review: Latin root tract and prefixes il-/ir- and inter-

Grammar: Concepts to review: Identify subject and predicate in sentences, action verbs vs. linking verbs, and use of words or phrases that compare or contrast.

Homework:  **Unit 2: Middle Ages Assessment will be on Wednesday, Nov. 6th 

The large majority of this assessment will assess reading skills. They will read passages and answer multiple choice and short answer questions. This portion does NOT require any studying! A small portion is over grammar and morphology that was learned during this unit. Students completed a study guide Monday and we will review more on Tuesday as well. They more than likely will not get to the grammar and morphology portion on Wednesday. We will finish up on Thursday!
