Next Book Agreement and Novel to read due in class on 2/21
Poster Assignment-due Tuesday, February 7 in class--Be creative!
Students will create a movie advertisement for their novels read (for the book agreement.) Poster novel must match book agreement turned into Mrs. Umana. Imagine that your novel has been turned into a major motion picture and design a poster to describe the major selling points of the novel. Who are the characters? Why should people want to see the movie? What is the movie about? Who is starring in your movie? What is the setting of the movie? Make us want to read the book and see the movie! You will have a writing assignment to complete in class which will be added to the poster front or back on 8 1/2 by 11 loose leaf paper. Save room for the writing assignment to be added on.
7th grade-Poetry Project
7th grade students will need to have a 1/2-1 inch binder in class. It should contain 20 plastic sleeves. Students will be working on a poetry project and will also need a flash drive on which to save their work.
Missing Assignments
It is extremely important that your child is paying attention in class and turning in all assignments on time. Students grades will be adversely impacted by missing assignments.
Literature binder with loose leaf paper--no spiral notebooks permitted
I post all of the Literature/Vocabulary updates and weekly information under "News Flash." Other important information is posted on my website on the left hand side. I will be posting weekly assignments and tests for Middle School. All assignments are subject to change and I will do my best to update new information as needed. As always, all assignments are posted on the board in my class room for students to write down in their planners when they enter my class room. Time will be given each day at the beginning of class for students to write down assignments. It is the students' responsibility to write down assignments. Thank you.
Textbooks
All Middle School students are assigned a literature textbook which is stored in the literature class room and one to take home.
