Sixth graders concluded the Elements of Stories Unit last week by turning in their short stories and taking their final test. This week students will be picking books for the “Coming of Age” reading unit. Students will work in book club groups to explore and discuss the literature. Throughout the unit, students will meet with their groups during eight meetings and complete both individual and group projects.
We are starting a new genre of writing this quarter. Students will begin writing compare and contrast expository essays this week. They will choose two animals to compare and contrast.
Check back for more information and pictures as these units progress.
