(Students reading background information on Greek Mythology)

Weekly Reader 

(Updated 5/14/12.)

7/8^th graders continue reading The Hunger Games and worked on understanding symbolism.  Students also began to look at motifs in the story and how this helps the author convey the theme.  Advanced literature students worked through their novel and looked at historical parallels.  They recently submitted their first draft of their MLA paper. 

5/6^th students continue working on their novel and have learned about tone and mood.  The class worked on identifying implicit and explicit details to make concrete inferences on the text.  We are working towards completing all of our work so that we can take a field trip to Greek Town later this month.  Students have also begun working on their next final project where they will write the story of a Greek god in first person.
