Academic Class Information
Language Arts
This week we continued discussing and practicing the elements of Plot and Fiction. We primarily focused on Direct and Indirect Characterization and Point of View and Perspective in the novel OUTSIDERS. Readings must be completed before returning to class so we can process and analyze the reading. We will rarely be reading together in class. If your child struggles with reading they can follow along with the audio readings located on my webpage under "Student Links".
Remember homework for my class will typically include:
- Article of the Week- There is a read aloud of this article as well on my Google Classroom and an electronic copy there as well.
- Assigned pages in The Outsiders novel.
