Happy New Year! Hope you each enjoyed a nice relaxing break. Today marks the start of the second semester of school. I can not believe how fast the first semester passed by. This semester students will study Greece, Rome, and The Middle Ages.
A few things to look forward to this semester include:The 8th Grade Greek Festival (we will have a parent volunteer meeting in the coming weeks) and the reading of Blood Red Horse (The historical fiction novel all 8th grade students will read in Social Studies.).
This week...
Wednesday- Heinrich Schliemann Reading (Reading is posted on schoology and class copies are available. Students should prepare for a reading quiz Thursday.)
Thursday- Archaeology: Was there a Troy? (Reading is posted on schoology and class copies are available. Students should prepare for a reading quiz and discussion on Friday.)
Friday- In class students will partake in a close reading strategy on the story of the Iliad. Students will have reading questions based on the reading and discussion to answer for homework.
