In language arts this week, students will continue to analyze stories for the hero's journey archetype while developing their understanding of a variety of literary terms. Some of the terms on our "Word Wall" thus far include the following: imagery, setting, mood, theme, protagonist, and point-of-view. This week our focus piece of literature is an excerpt from Homer's epic, the ODYSSEY. Students will be responding to the piece both creatively and critically.
Our grammar focus for the week will be adjectives and adverbs. Students will study and practice adjectives and adverbs, using this packet: ADJECTIVES & ADVERBS PACKET for notes and practice and building from there.
Friday, September 19th marks the mid-point of first quarter. Conferences will take place on September 25th and 26th. Look for conference forms to come home this week.
