English/Language Arts
Students practiced identifying the main idea this week while reading Revolution and Rights. They analyzed a paragraph of the text by highlighting the key words in each detail sentence. Looking at the highlighted text helped students to recognize repeated words and synonyms. Then students were able to use these words to create a sentence describing the main idea.
Students have been working hard revising their memoirs. Several students have done an outstanding job rewriting sections of their memoirs to be more descriptive. Others have focused on expanding the essay portions of the paper - introduction and conclusion - by delving into their messages.
