Wednesday, May 6th, 2020 – 7th grade work

Good morning 7th graders,

Welcome to Wednesday – with your last roots quiz of the year! It’s interesting to note that, despite our strange circumstances, you have learned more roots than any other 7th grade class I have taught at St. John. Round of applause!

Today is Wednesday of Spirit Week – Get Out There and Bike Day! So, grab you bike (AND your helmet – because I love you too much to let you hurt your brains) and go for a spin😁.

You have four items for your Literature / ELA To Do list today:

  • HYPNOS quiz (5 – 10 minutes)
  • Tangerine reading and discussion questions (20 – 30 minutes)
  • Daily Journal (5 – 15 minutes)
  • Daily Reading (20 – 35 minutes)

Let’s get started!

  1. HYPNOS quiz (5 – 10 minutes)
    • Complete the quiz on Teams
    • Pay attention to the part of speech clues I have given you
    • Enjoy a little break from roots!
  2. Tangerine reading and discussion questions (20 – 30 minutes)
    • Your Part 3 discussion questions are due tomorrow – hooray!
    • Review the comments from your Part 1 questions for tips to improve
    • Contact me with any questions or if you need a bit more time😁
  3. Daily Journal (5 – 15 minutes)
    • Write on your own prompt or use one of the two below:
    • Prompt(s):
      1. Share what you did for Tasty Tuesday yesterday – created a dish, followed a recipe, planned a menu, served as sous chef, something else? Whatever you did, tell me/your journal all about it! Feel free to include photos, drawings, and splatters of spaghetti sauce.
      2. Describe your bike ride for today’s spirit day – where did you go? What did you see? Who did you see? Did anything interesting/funny/surprising/ enjoyable/exciting happen? Tell me/your journal all about it! Feel free to include maps, pictures, drawings, checklists, and drops of rain/sunscreen.
  4. Daily Reading (20 – 35 minutes)
    • Read for 15 – 30 minutes and practice a new analysis skill by completing your log entry and putting extra effort into the evidence column
    • Let me know if you have any questions!

That’s everything for today. Next week, we will be starting a new text and working on a secret project for the 8th graders 😎. I will be sharing more information with you soon about picking up materials for both.

For now, have a great day and let me know if you have questions, concerns, or a suggested bike route!
