7th Grade-- you will find info for our dystopian unit 6th Grade-- you will find info for our unit on Freak the Mighty Please make sure to check back at the site if homework is assigned on here outside of class! Thanks, Ms. Todd Hello QofA students,
I just wanted to let you know before the first day of school this Wednesday, that all summer blog posts (all 6 -- 3 fiction, 3 non-fiction) are due Friday, 8/26. Any posts submitted after Friday will be considered late and be awarded 1/2 credit. Thank you, and enjoy your last days before school begins! I look forward to seeing you all. -Ms. Todd Hey QofA Middle Schoolers--
I was checking out your postings so far this summer, and they look pretty good! One reminder: MAKE SURE YOU WRITE EACH BOOK POSTING IN THE CORRECT FICTION OR NON-FICTION SECTION. I've noticed students posting their writing for a fiction book in the non-fiction section and vice versa. Double check where you are posting for a particular book! :-) Happy Reading (and let's be honest, happy Pokemon-Going!)! Enjoy the rest of your summer, Ms. Todd Happy Summer!
Just a reminder-- make sure you are posting frequently while you read; AND, make sure you are NOT writing a summary of what you read. You may bring up events in your discussion, but make sure to comment on your understanding and your perspectives of the text! Thanks-- feel free to comment here if you have a question or concern. -Ms. Todd Keep up your insightful responses this month! You're doing an excellent job!!
-Ms. T Hey All!
The new summer reading blog posts are now up on this website. Please begin to read and make your required 3 comments per book (1 non-fic and 1 fic). Feel free to comment on this post and/or leave me an email if you need anything. I will be checking my email on a weekly basis. Happy Reading! -Miss Todd Hey lovely students! I hope you are as excited as I am to be getting back to school soon. I am having difficulty accessing my school email, so if you have any questions before school begins, please write me a comment here, and I will try to help answer!
Thanks, Miss Todd See post below as well! Hey all! Hope your summer is going well. I just wanted to leave you with some pointers to completing your blog posts this summer:
1. Try not to write your blog entries with a total summary. Yes, I want to know that you read the book, but it's extremely dull to read the same summary over and over again. 2. Try and write your own connections to the novel. What did you like? What did you dislike in this section of reading? What questions did you have while you were reading? What predictions will you make? Answer some or more of these types of questions in your blog posts. 3. Remember to comment on your NON-FIC books in the correct post and your FIC books in the correct post. 4. I will delete posts that are in the incorrect spots--I will do this before school begins. Make sure to move them to their proper place. Thanks, Miss Todd There is about a month left of school, and that means summer is just around the corner. This also means that summer reading for Literature class is coming quickly as well. I will post up information soon! Keep checking our site for more information.
