Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - 03/27/15

AGENDA

1.) Write the best 8th grade open response you have in you to write for your Trimester 3 Writing Check.  If you are absent, I'm still expecting it done for Monday (see prompt below)
2.) Agenda Books

HOMEWORK
1.) Finish writing check if you did not finish it in class
2.) Find your motto/slogan and bring it with you to school on Monday (write it down)

TRIMESTER THREE WRITING CHECK PROMPT:

Essential to any story, conflict drives literature.  Authors deliberately build conflict in their works to captivate the audience.  Choose one character from The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and one character of your choosing from your outside Holocaust reading book.  For each character, detail one external and one internal conflict.  Remember, you must use specific examples from both texts to support your argument.

EXTRA INFORMATION
Next week is a short week of school (no school on Good Friday) and it's your math PARCC, so we are changing the schedule around again.  You will be back with your groups (1A, 1PA, 2A, 2PA) and rotating through the schedule.  We listened to your feedback from last time and did make some changes.  Ms. Eringis is handing out schedules for you today in math class.  If you were absent, make sure that you see her first thing Monday morning so that you know where to go.
