Big Things Come in Small Packages

Students will be working in their Close Reader this week.  This paper back workbook allows us to annotate right in the book.  We will practice close reading techniques as well as work on our MyAccess stories.  And I must add, students are doing a wonderful job this year participating in class discussions and focusing on their work!  I'm very impressed with this years 7th grade.  It's been quite a pleasure so far.

Rogue Wave

We'll be finishing up Rogue Wave and trying our hands at the first online test this week!  I'm eager to see how everyone does on their test!  Next we will be working on a Myaccess prompt where students will get an opportunity to explore the world within The Pedestrian from someone else's perspective.

Absent students!

If you've been absent, I've posted a document on GoogleClassroom that will guide you through the parts of Rogue Wave that we've read so far.  Compare your notes with a classmate and you will be up to speed!

Story Test Pushed Back

Looks like our story test will be pushed back to next week!  This will work out well as there have been a few absences this week, so that'll provide folks time to catch up.

Collections 1: Bold Actions

This week we will begin reading our textbooks and our first story is titled Rogue Wave.  We will follow Scoot and Sully during this harrowing tale.
