- Reading Log due Oct 22nd. That means you either have to put it in the inbox on Thursday or BEFORE
advisor on Monday. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Make sure you get your parents to sign them. Some of you
missed the spotcheck, so I hope you're completing your log correctly.
- We are correcting The Outsiders - Chapters #1-6 on Monday, so make sure they're completed. The "art"
assignment for Chapter 5 must be handed in to our "INBOX".
- We started our Mystery/Suspense unit today by watching "The Adventures of Young Sherlock Holmes".
Students should be able to discuss the different elements of fiction giving specific examples from
the movie.

GRADE 8 ELA
We finished the Outsiders movie and students are writing three paragraphs about any aspect of the movie they choose. Three independent paragraphs - NOT AN ESSAY! We're practicing our paragraphs by focusing ideas, organization (unity), and mechanics (spelling and grammar). Students have had one class to write the rough draft, one class to peer edit. Final drafts are due on Wed. Oct 13th
Please bring your reading logs so I can do a "spot check". That means I get to make sure you're filling them out correctly and you won't lose marks when you hand it in on Oct 22nd. The spot check is worth 10 marks, Folks, so make sure you bring them on Tuesday!
GRADE 8 SOCIAL STUDIES
Introduction to History Unit Test CHANGED TO MONDAY, OCT 18TH. Study hard, Kidlets!
