Mrs. Lane - English Language Arts - Thursday Update

Sixth Grade - Students have the second set of vocabulary on The Secret of Nimh:
explicit
contrary
domain
abrupt

dank
dense
cordial

timid
adjourn
futile

cursory
manipulate
Students also need to keep up with reading schedules (see my website link).
Seventh Grade - We finished reading a teleplay in class, and students have a brief worksheet for homework.
Eighth Grade - Students are working on a rough draft for a writing contest. The theme is "Bridges," and the draft is due on Monday, at which time we will do in-class peer revision. We also read "The Dinner Party" in class, and students should read "Hamadi" for tomorrow.
