Week 5/22-5/26

There are only a couple of weeks left of middle school before summer and then you will have a high schooler--it is crazy how time flies when you are having fun! We are reading the last part of the novel Speak this week and working on writing concise summaries, pulling out quotes that convey the universal themes, and using symbolic images to represent the quotes and themes. Please continue to check out their Student Blogs and Twitter accounts  (these are embedded in their blogs) to see their published work--you are their audience!
