Language Arts - 8 (4/07/08-4/11/08)

This week we are back to our normal vocabulary schedule. The practice packet for Vocabulary 22 is due on Wednesday and the quiz will be on Thursday. These words all have the common root word "duce" which comes from the latin word "ducere" meaning "to lead."

We are starting a poetry unit this week. On Monday, we had to write a journal entry about whether music should be considered poetry or not. Then we are going to listen to a variety of music and discuss the poetic aspects we hear. We will also be going over some poetry terms and reading the poem "Jabberwocky."

Friday we are going to the library so bring your library book to class.
