8A Language Arts

Students should be reading at least 15 minutes per night and have been encouraged to discuss our novel study on Ruth Minsky-Sender's The Cage.  It is a powerful, non-fiction novel based on the Holocaust and WWII. Through at home discussions I hope students will make more text to world and text to self connections.

Students have been working in groups with Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" and turning it into a storyboard.  They must have their scenes on looseleaf, a rough draft on white paper and the final copy on cue cards (or another medium of their choice).  The plot can not be altered but the characters, setting and other details can be.  Have fun!
