L.A. Blog-Happy February!

It's hard to believe we're already into February, and we had our first official Snow Day! I hope everyone had a good three day weekend because of it.

This month, we are wrapping up some big projects. The seventh graders are working hard on A Midsummer Night's Dream and just wrapped up Act III. We've had some very exciting and informative discussions, and everyone seems to understand the play pretty well! Hopefully, we will be finishing the play by the end of next week or early into the third week of February.
The students will have a project based on the play, but I won't be introducing it until we are done reading.

Next, the students are working hard on their research papers. They just turned in their outlines and works cited page, both of which are essential to the final draft. Any errors they make on these should be corrected for the final paper. The final paper is due Tuesday, February 24th.

The most important thing to remember for this month is that the students need to balance their time between doing work in class and at home. I often give them a lot of class time, so they should be using it wisely!

Final Paper due Tuesday, 2/24

Have a wonderful week!
