Language Arts - 8 (12/2-12/5)

This week in language arts the vocabulary schedule will be different. The packet will be due Thursday, December 4th, and the quiz will be on Friday, December 5th.

Friday we will go to the library after the quiz, so make sure to bring your library books because they are due on the 5th!

This week we are beginning a unit on nonverbal communication. We will be learning the importance of posture, facial expressions, body language and vocal cues. The students will be doing group pantomines this week and other activities to enhance their understanding of nonverbal communication. The final assessment for this unit will begin next week and it will involve a nonverbal speech where students individually read a monologue.

Essays were due November 25th, but there are still a few who need to turn in their paper. Major assignments go down one letter grade for every day late.
