For the week beginning October 19

Reading Classes -
We will be wrapping up our autobiographies (7A - "I Prove Myself A Hunter," 7B/C - "The Noble Experiment") with a quiz on Tuesday. We will then begin reading a personal essay (7A - "Little Things are Big," 7B/C - "Names/Nombres"). We will be discussing the characteristics of an essay and the various purposes for writing.

Writing Classes-
There are NO SPELLING WORDS this week. We are taking a break to catch up with grammar lessons - simple subjects and predicates (including verb phrases). We are also continuing the biography writing assignment by completing an outline and developing a claim.
