This month we are working on warm ups that enhance the RACES strategy to short answer response writing questions. We are finishing up the argumentative unit with resources and how to cite information when conducting research. We will finish January with the beginning of our new unit on Expository/Informational writing. This unit will cover Descriptive writing, compare & contrast, problem solution, cause & effect, and sequencing events.

All students have new reading logs that measure by pages and to meet the requirements by due date students need to read 8 pages for five nights a week. That makes 38 pages a week and 150 by the February 13 deadline.

Students also now have a due date for their choice board set for February 28.
