Academic Class Information
Language Arts
This week most students concluded the book of Fever, 1793. Next week will be our final chapter check test on this book. Students worked on comparing the anchor text to "An American Plague" excerpts and examining character development throughout our novel.
Next week students will be focusing on the Victorian Era; Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol. Within that unit we will be focusing on our nine week theme: "change" and how people change due to circumstances and environmental factors.
