7th Grade: Students are finishing up their personality profile papers/projects in class. Later in the week, we’ll be working on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation as a big review. After spring break, seventh graders will be starting a very important unit on writing an MLA style research paper (topic to be given after break).
8th Grade: Eighth graders will be working on their 8th grade résumés (template to be given and explained in class) and cover letters. We’ll also review grammar, punctuation, and parts of speech before Spring Break. After break, eighth graders will begin their final paper project of the year.
