WHAT WILL WE BE LEARNING NEXT WEEK?
In Language Arts, students will analyze how the author uses the setting of a text to develop the characters’ actions and establish a purpose for reading by monitoring my understanding by using annotations, questioning, connecting, and summarizing techniques to interpret how setting and characterization influence the plot. The Unit 2 Common Assessment Summative Writing is due on Tuesday.
In Math, students will solve everyday problems involving rates, ratios, and proportions. The Unit Summative Assessment will be on Wednesday. Students will then use positive and negative numbers to solve problems.
In Accelerated Math, students will complete operations using rational numbers.
In Science, students will construct an argument using maps and data collected to support a claim of how fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate of Earth.
In Social Studies, students will compare and contrast the economic systems of the United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia.
