The eighth graders are currently working on their WWII research papers. This has been an extensive unit for the students as they have just finished 75 fact cards, created an outline, and are now working on their introduction paragraphs. Next week, we will begin putting the outlines into a rough draft. I encourage you to read these drafts, as many students are extremely proud of their work so far.
In reading, the students are still working on their 2000 minutes. We will begin our final in-class memoir which will help the students complete their reading minutes. The memoir is titled Left to Tell. It focuses on the recent Rwandan Genocide which creates great discussion and connections to the Holocaust.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
