Langauge Arts - 8 (11/3-11/7)

This week in language arts, we have vocabulary centered around the theme of dialect. The packet is due Wednesday with a quiz on Thursday.

We have also started working on an expository essay unit. By Wednesday, a topic should be chosen and then Thursday we will work on developing a thesis statement. We are also reviewing all the parts of a standard essay and working on effective attention getters, orders, formulas, and final thoughts. By Friday, outlines will be distributed to allow independent work at home.
