7th Grade:
1st quarter spelling test, then discussion about persuasion in an essay, timed writing, argumentative style, etc. No homework.
8th Grade:
1st quarter spelling test, then students read pro and con versions of their persuasive essays. We discussed who was more persuasive, and what it takes to sound credible in an oral argument.
10th Grade:
1st quarter spelling test, then Act II Julius Caesar test. Sorry to load two big tests on the same day. I will try not to let that happen again this year.
History: Current events discussions, Political cartoons about current events happening around the country, and we begin our note taking on the "Development of our U.S. democracy"
