Tuesday - Feb 05, 2013

7th Grade:  We are starting a technical writing unit.  We practiced describing faces in pictures today.  Homework:  Describe a shopping cart.  Here is the catch.  You can't name it.  You must simply describe what it looks like in the best detail you can manage.  About 1/4 page.

8th Grade:  Non Fiction reading.  Read pages 484 - 508.  There are two stories here.  In the second story, about Harriet Tubman, answer questions 1,2,4,5,6 at the end of the story.  Due Wednesday.

10th Grade:  Evaluating persuasive writing.  There are two stories from page 592 - 605.  One by Cesar Milan about how to train dogs, and the other called "Pack of Lies" refuting Cesar's claims.  Read both stories, and then write a paper, about 3/4 page, arguing AGAINST the one you find the least convincing.  We will be reading these to the class tomorrow.

History:  Read Ch 7, Section 3 in the Text.  Define the terms on page 218 that are in blue at the bottom of the page.  Then Summarize the section for tomorrow.  After you finish, work on the History Day project.
