Language Arts
Join us on our journey to Middle Earth! This week we will continue with Bilbo Baggins as he begins his adventure with Thorin & Co. This unit is titled: There and Back Again - What Science Fiction and Fantasy Can Teach Us About Ourselves and will take our readers on a hero's quest.
Students will be working on reading standards (7RL1), grammar practice with prepositional phrases (7L1) and continue vocabulary integration (7RI4). Also as we complete reading chapter six, the students will view the Peter Jackson adaptation of The Hobbit (the first part) to compare and contrast a written story, to its filmed version, analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium. A writing assignment will be given at the conclusion of viewing the film.
Please read the course syllabus with your child and send in the signed parent page. This was emailed to all parents.
