This week we have been working very hard on Theme Papers. The students have read a story called "The Most Dangerous Game" and have identified what they feel the theme, or moral, of the story is. These will be completed on Friday. Through this process, they have learned how to create a bibliography, practice proofreading, and use evidence to support their claims. These are integral skills they will need moving forward in this class, as well as their future classes!
7th Grade has been working very hard! This week, we have already begun to dissect thesis statements and identify their parts. Soon, we will be correcting problems in example statements and eventually write our own! These kids are doing great things!
