November 14-18

Our last full week in November is already upon us and I have officially started my countdown to a turkey induced coma next week. This is a busy week in class as students prepare for their first student led conference (with me) but they will not have homework. Language Arts students have a major book report due this Friday and I wanted to make sure they had their evenings free (from my class at least) to work on their reports.

7LA:

This week students will prepare their best works portfolios for student led conferences. They will select three assignments they believe represent their best works, will write reflections about what they did well on and how they could have improved, and will set goals for improvement for next semester. Once this process is complete they will present their portfolios to me and share their goals and best work.

Monday - Students will take the final exam on our novel, The Outsiders.
