Finally... a Utopia!!!

Welcome back from a wonderful class trip 7th Graders!

Unfortunately, I'll be out with the 8th graders for their trip when we get back from Memorial Day weekend.  Students will continue to work on their Utopias in the lab along with a few other projects if they happen to finish up their Utopia presentations.

Other projects include:

Saving a Memory-- Students will choose a memory from childhood to describe in the first person point of view using plenty of sensory details.  The idea is to capture a moment that The Giver has taught us that we should not take for granted

A Day in the Life of Your Utopia -- Students will write a story of a character having an eye opening moment in their utopias that they have created.  Students must look critically at their communities and identify major weaknesses despite their attempt to create a perfect world for this narrative.

Deep Sea Haiku -- Students will write a Haiku about the deep sea creature they drew for Ms. Stocker's math class.
