Language Arts - 8 (10/20-10/24)

This week we have our last vocabulary packet concerning root words "clam" and "voc" meaning to cry or call out. The packet is due Wednesday with a quiz on Thursday. Next week we will be having a final root word test concerning all the different root words we have done so far, so make sure to review those.

On Monday, we are finishing the movie The Truman Show which has many similar themes as The Giver. We are then getting into an expository writing unit and we will be working on developing out voice in our writing as well as organizational writing skills.

If you are interested in joining the Southern Lakes Anthology Club, the meeting will be after school on Tuesday, October 21st. This gives you an opportunity to chose and work on a style of writing or art, and then submit it for a competition.
