We NEED magazines and newspapers!!!

Monday we will begin a unit on newspapers, magazines, commercials, advertisements, propaganda, bias, author's point of view and purpose.  We cannot do this without used newspapers and magazines.  I thank those students who have provided these for the class--but we need many, many more.

Students will be given a list of 26 vocabulary words.  We will test this Thursday on the first 13 words and next Thursday on the remaining 13 words.  Please make sure your student has this list in their 3 ring binder. 

We will also have DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) several times a week.  On those days, students will read in class and summarize.  I will check summaries to make sure they are completed correctly.  These will also be in three ring binders.  All students are required to have a book of their choice.  Last book reports are free choice and do not have to be within year long theme.

Please make sure your student has his/her EOG review book every day.  We will be working in them daily.
