7E – Language Arts Lesson – Wednesday 11/10

Good morning 7E!

Today we will be completing a lesson from our “take home” packet. The language arts lessons are stapled together, with instructions on the cover sheet. The work is organized into three days of material; please complete “Day 1.”

In the event you have misplaced it, I copied in the lesson for Day 1 here:

Complete the following quick writing prompt:

                Now that autumn is here, you should be thinking about all those things you like about this fall season. Make a list of five things you like/dislike about this season. Choose one thing to write about in detail. Things to consider when making your list:  What makes this season special when compared to other seasons? Why do you like it more or less than other seasons? What is your fondest fall memory? What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of fall?  10 minutes of writing time.

Next: Complete the work sheet on figurative language.

Next: Complete “Lesson 1: Finding the Main Idea”worksheets (pages 4,5,6,and 7).

Finally: Read your library book for 20 minutes. Complete a reading log. Remember, a reading log is a one paragraph response to what you have read. It includes, but is not limited to: a brief summary of the plot, and your personal response (how you feel about the events).

The last part of our lesson today will be looking at the Remembrance Day materials that are linked in below. These materials would have been used in the classroom this week. Included is the “Canada Remembers” newspaper which contains several great articles. Please choose at least one article to read today.

Good Luck! Please send me an email if you have any questions.

7P – Math Lesson – Wednesday 11/10

Good morning class.

Today we will begin where we left off yesterday, on page 80 of our unit review. The last question we answered yesterday was #12 “d;” today we will finish off # 12, parts “e, f, g, and h,” then complete the remainder of the questions: #13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. Below you will find links to page 80 and some sample solutions to yesterday’s questions. There is also a link to page 78, which shows how to answer each type of question in this unit review (it's sort of like a cheat sheet). Please consult page 78 if you have trouble with a particular question.

Good Luck! We’ll be reviewing the answers to the entire unit review on Friday.

Good morning 7P!

Today in Language Arts we will be doing two things: focusing on our collaboration project, and catching up on work we may have missed from last week. First off, I would like you to go back through the LA lessons from last week to check on what you may have forgotten to do, or gotten behind on. Remember: this isn't a day off; it's a day to get caught up. 

One of the lessons I assigned last week was doing the first day from our take home learning packet. I copied in the instructions from "Day 1" in language arts here:

Day 1

 Complete the following quick writing prompt:

                Now that autumn is here, you should be thinking about all those things you like about this fall season. Make a list of five things you like/dislike about this season. Choose one thing to write about in detail. Things to consider when making your list:  What makes this season special when compared to other seasons? Why do you like it more or less than other seasons? What is your fondest fall memory? What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of fall?  10 minutes of writing time.

Next: Complete the work sheet on figurative language.

Next: Complete “Lesson 1: Finding the Main Idea”worksheets (pages 4,5,6,and 7).

Finally: Read your library book for 20 minutes. Complete a reading log. Remember, a reading log is a one paragraph response to what you have read. It includes, but is not limited to: a brief summary of the plot, and your personal response (how you feel about the events).

I'm sure most of you have already completed the above lesson. If not, please do so today.

For those that have finished it already, please write a summary of your collaboration project so far. In this summary, you should be answering questions like: What is the problem or issue I am trying to solve or fix? and How am I going to solve this problem or fix this issue? Finally, please describe how you are going to display your project (how will you pay for your tons?)

Last, but not least, I have attached a link to a Teams meeting here, which is taking place at 10am this morning. The presenter is Adam Trider, who is the "Center of Excellence for Energy Lead Teacher." He will be discussing Energy projects, and Energy in NB; which goes along nicely with our own collaboration project here at MAA.

7E/7P – Language Arts – Monday 11/08

Good morning classes.

Let’s begin with the following short writing assignment:  Today we are going to compare and contrast home learning and being “in school.” Please list two things you like about home learning, and two things you like about being in school. Once you have listed your four items, please write a short paragraph (3 to 5 sentences) about each one. So, you should have a list, and four paragraphs when you are finished.

Next: you should be silent reading for at least 20 minutes. Your first option should be your library book; if you don’t have it at home, simply find something else to read. So long as you are reading something (even an article from the internet), you are checking this box.

When you finish reading, try to answer the following questions regarding the worksheets we completed in class (on sentence structure).

1. What is a subject?

2. What is a predicate?

Copy and complete the following sentences. Separate the subject and predicate in the sentences below with a backslash (/).

3. The hockey player shot the puck.

4. The figure skater moved gracefully over the ice.

5. The dog barked at the man down the street.

6. The eagle soared across the blue sky.

7. The student council president gave a speech in the cafeteria.

The final portion of our lesson will be listening to chapter 4 from our class novel The City of Ember. After you have listened, please make a list of key points/highlights from the chapter. Your list should include a minimum of 7 or 8 items.

Here is the link to chapter 4:        Listen
