English/Language Arts update

Hello,
As the temperature swiftly plummets and slowly rises; the snow descends, gathers, and then melts, we may think of the hardships that accompany life in the northern lands. Students are thinking about land and how we use it, where we settle and why, in our new unit of study. This is an integrated unit between Social Studies and English. We are looking at land use and settlement, both historically and present day. In English, we are primarily learning how to do research and how to synthesize all of the information we find into a presentation. Students will be assessed along the way, so it is very important for them to be organized and have materials ready in both classes. On Wednesday, I will be checking off the following assignments: Research Vocabulary Definitions; Native American Venn Diagram; Research Question worksheet; 3 Researchable Questions; Vocabulary Study Tool/Puzzle

As always, please feel free to email me or call with any questions.
Take care
