This Week in Language Arts...

In language arts this week, we'll analyze poetry and film, examining the theme of heroism in both print and non-print texts.  We'll also review adjectives (what they are, how to use them, and how to find them).  (Here's a link to the Adjectives Notes and Practice Assignment.)  We'll discuss the three strategies of definition (definition by function, definition by example, and definition by negation).  At the end of the week, students will set up their Springboard accounts, so by next week the Springboard materials will be accessible at home as well as at school.
Also, grades are up on PowerSchool, so it's a great time to start checking grades.
Have a great week!
