Communication Arts: 4/13 - 4/17

We will be having 60 minute classes Tuesday through Friday due to Badger testing this week. Student led Reading Minutes start this week as well. Reading Minutes allow students to share a small portion of something they have read with the class. Their classmates then respond in a variety of formats. This allows students to share their interests with the class and practice their public speaking skills. The students will create their own questions to have a graded discussion about an article titled Can Money Buy Happiness? with a small group. We will be starting a poetry unit as well which will include exposure to a variety of poems, figurative language and analyzing lyrics for their poetic devices.
