Starting New Books

In all classes we are preparing to start reading new books.  Tenth graders will read Animal Farm and are preparing by researching different revolutions.  They will present their information to the class this week.  Ninth graders are reading either Iron Will or The Red Badge of Courage.  They are preparing by sharing their knowledge of the Civil War and their opinions about war at this point.  We will compare after finishing the books and see if they have shifted opinions on any of the topics.  Along with reading the books, there will be some writing assignments and some other texts we will read, poems, articles, fables, etc.  This will provide a broad base of knowledge and topics covering the same theme.  

At the end of these reading projects, there will be presentations where we will invite families and younger grades to attend.  More information on this in the weeks to come.  

Have a great week!
