7th Grade Language Arts

We're hard at work in 7th Grade Language Arts!

We just finished reading our second novel Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. We're reviewing it now, as well as working on the literary analysis essay to go along with it. The test will be on Tuesday, March 26.

Vocabulary is moving right along. We've worked through twelve groups of words, and will be having our next quiz on Thursday, March 21.

Our how-to (expository) essays are almost finished. Everyone is teaching the class how to do something. 

We're still adding to our literary dictionaries and studying all kinds of figurative language and literary devices. On our novel test, we'll see if we can recognize some of those devices when they appear in our reading.
