October 27, English 7 Review

Thank you for successful parent/teacher conferences! I hope you got a chance to see the experiences your students go through in English 7. Students work hard, and I continue to look forward to growth in reading and writing.

We round out short stories this week. Students will work together to read "Zoo" by Edward Hoch, answer comprehension questions, vocabulary in context, and three constructed responses. I look forward to reviewing "Harkness" discussion guidelines, the "Harkness" grading rubric, "inferencing" for "Zoo", and identifying "theme" in Zoo. Students will be well-prepared for "Harkness" on Thursday.


Friday - a viewing of "The Monkey's Paw"!
