Junk we will be doing:  Ready?  Here we go…

--4 Novels

we will be reading and discussing and doing projects over the following novels:

*The Princess Bride

*Oliver Twist

*To Kill A Mockingbird

*The Hobbit

You will also be keeping a spiral journal over each novel which will include a summary over what you read each week, 2 quotes that were meaningful to you from the week's reading, and why you chose the quotes.  The journal will also be used to do any novel writing projects.

--Writing Skills

You will learn to write and practice the following types of papers:

*writing prompts

*research paper

*comparison/contrast papers

*5 paragraph papers

*persuasive papers

*summary/response papers

*reaction papers

--Greek/Latin Roots

You will learn the definitions of 5 Greek/Latin roots each week and take a test over them the last Language Class each week.  You will not only need to learn the current week's roots, but also remember all previous weeks’ words

--Vocabulary Words

You will learn the spelling and definitions of 2 words each week and take a test over them the last Language Class each week.  You will not only need to learn the current week's spelling and definitions, but also remember all previous weeks’ words

--Novel Notecards

You will use the Novel Notecard book to write 2 notecards each week.  You will then be tested over the current notecards as well as all previous notecards on the same day you take your vocabulary/Latin/Greek tests.  Look at the Novel Notecard Link to discover how to do the notecards each week.

--Speech
