Hello, and happy weekend. Students have been doing great work as they prepare for writing a theme essay. Because this will be many students’ first time writing an essay with five paragraphs, I have modeled, and we are writing together, a practice essay with the theme “family will always be there to support us.” Next week, students will determine their own theme for the novel. Because of this, they will have a modified double-entry, on which they will find quotes that support their selected theme. We should be done with the book in the next week or two. We will also have a spelling test next week. Thanks, and let me know if you have questions.
