Tuesday, March 31st, 2020 – 8th grade work

Good morning 8th graders,

You have two items for your Literature To Do list and one item for general information:

        • Monologue practice (10 – 15 mintues)
        • Daily Reading (20 – 35 mintues)
        • Movie Talk sign-ups and schedule (for your information)

Remember, do what you can and give yourself space and time if you need it!

  1. Monologue practice (10 -15 minutes)
    • Your performances are scheduled to begin next week, so you should be practicing your performance this week.
    • Seven of you have asked to practice with peers and I will set that up for this Thursday. If you signed up to practice with classmates, look for an email from me today or tomorrow with more details!
    • Please email me if you have questions about this assignment or concerns about your progress. The only way I can help and give you more time is if I know there is a problem!
  2. Daily Reading (20 – 35 minutes)
    • Remember the direction from yesterday, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or you just need some extra time to yourself, read for 15 minutes!
    • When you finish reading, complete your daily reading log entry.
    • Contact me with any questions about reading logs, evidence, technical issues, what counts as reading, etc.
  3. Movie Talk sign-ups and schedules

Okay, that’s your work for now. On the optional Social-Emotional To Do list:

    • Take some time to just chill out
    • Spend some time with your pets, if you have them
    • Call a friend / classmate just to say hi
    • Hug your parent / guardian and tell them what you appreciate and why
    • Clean something up around the house without being asked
    • Listen to some music
    • Craft something that brings you joy (a picture, the perfect jump shot, a cake…whatever works for you)
