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!
