December

Over the three weeks in December we will be completing a short story unit over The Gift of the Magi.  During the unit we will be covering/reviewing the following skills:

  • Vocabulary
  • Identifying and Proving Theme
  • Figurative Language Review
  • Plot Summary Review
  • Character Analysis 
  • Compare and Contrast
We will be reading, writing, cutting, gluing, and watching the Hallmark channel movie...so it will be a busy month in class.  There will be NO SPELLING this month.  There will, however, be a challenging vocabulary list of 18 words.  We will have a vocabulary definition quiz and the words will appear again on the end of unit test as well.  So START LEARNING THE VOCAB NOW! 

You are required to read and test on one free choice book this month.  So, get your nose in a book and knock that out quickly!

Semester tests we be December 18th and 19th.  See your handbook for details about test exemption.
