Writing notes for 7th grade from Mrs. Kelly

By -
Membean is a critically acclaimed vocabulary program that will enable your student to acquire an advanced vocabulary which will aide his or her success both in academics, and future job career choices. As we end 2nd quarter, keep in mind the following changes:
•Late Membean sessions will have a penalty
•Any session that has a score lower than 50% will not count, and the student will need to do it over in order for it to be recorded on the gradebook
•Sessions done on cell phones, may or may not work. DO NOT DO MEMBEAN SESSIONS ON A CELL PHONE.
•Membean assignments run from Tuesday to Tuesday, and should be two separate 15 minute sessions a week. (Students have the entire weekend, plus Monday to complete the weekly assignment.)

What to Look Forward to in 3rd Quarter Writing
•Correct & Revise articles from Teen Magazines--first 2 weeks back from Winter break; putting closure to this project will include several reflection processes as well as a celebration, and a big reveal of all the magazines. Cross your fingers—everything wrapped up before the end of January.
•Writing projects for 3rd quarter will tie in with the novel seventh grade is reading.
•Quick Writes will focus on personal narratives
•Word Study of common Greek and Latin root words
•Common Figurative Language , Parts of Speech, and English Conventions

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
