This week, we will begin using Cornell Notes. All students in middle school will use notes in each of their content classes, and the AVID students will use them regularly for tutorial. Our first set of notes will be on the elements of fiction - characters, setting, plot and theme.
After taking these notes, we will use them to help us understand our first story in the McDougall Littell Literature Book - "The Crush". We will also complete a pre-reading journal entry on Moodle to get your thoughts on how first impressions can be changed.
In addition, we will continue with our Words of the Day and now our words will come from the stories that we are reading.
Let's have a great week!
