Beginning 3/15 there will be a major review on sentence structure.
Students will need to tune in and take notes on simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentence structures. Although some of these have been covered in the past, recall is not what it should be. Using multiple sources we will investigate each and make a plan so key concepts do not go in one ear and out the other.

Idioms . . .
Part of having a voracious vocabulary is knowing the meanings of the idioms used as we speak English. Listen to your friends, parents, songs, TV and notice the many idioms that make our language colorful. If you do not know what one means, ask your friend, ask an adult, or ask in class.

Persuasive Letter . . .

Students are writing a persuasive letter to Dr. Tyson about Jekyll Island--OR--if they did not attend Jekyll, a topic of choice in which they use persuasive writing skills.
