Week at a Glance:
IMPORTANT INFO:
- Last Friday, progress report envelopes were sent home. If you are in my FIRST PERIOD ONLY, you need to return the envelope to me with a parent signature on the front.
- Additionally, you need to bring back your Mercedes-Benz field trip permission slip. The SALMON colored permission slip needs to be completely filled out with $25 dollars.
- The grades for embedded assessment #2 of unit 2 are live in the gradebook. If you see a ZERO, I have nothing from you. I did not receive any without names. If you were absent the day these were turned in, it is your responsibility to turn yours in ASAP. Once again, we worked on the embedded assessment for an entire week IN CLASS.
Monday and Tuesday: Students are completing activity 3.4 in their SpringBoard. In this activity, students are trying to answer the following question: what sport is more dangerous… football, dodgeball, or cheerleading? We will be reading 3 articles regarding the pros and cons of each sport. After, students will complete text-dependent comprehension questions where they will analyze the reasons and evidence presented in each article. Students will also watch a variety of news clips addressing each sport.
HOMEWORK- complete worksheet 3.4. This is due TUESDAY. SB 3.4 ( <— ADDITIONAL COPY)
Wednesday and Thursday: Students will participate in the great middle school debate: hot cheetos or takis? Which chip is better? Students will read two articles about the origin and nutritional value of each chip. While doing this, students will make a claim, give reasons, and present evidence for their argument.
