Language Arts:
Student's had their first quiz today over The Misfits, Chapters 1-5. We discussed the names being called. Tomorrow we will start working on an anti-bullying magazine. I will post the assignment on my blog, to make it easier to access websites. Compose nine original pieces from the following suggested list in addition to the cover, table of contents, and letter to the readers:
Cover with catchy title
Table of contents
Letter to readers
Advice column
Poetry
Dos and Don’ts for parents
Interview or top 10s
Myths about bullying
Book/movie review
Editorial or letter to the editor
Horoscopes, cartoons, or helpful hints
Sports or jokes
Advertisement or art submissions
Song lyrics or music review
An original idea- Okay it with Mrs. M.
