Language Arts - due March 15th Students have the rubric used for evaluation.
Roald Dahl Novel Study
You are a famous book reviewer and world renowned author and have been asked to do a segment on a morning TV talk show based on a couple of childrenÂ’s novelÂ’s by Roald Dahl. Your segment is exactly 5 minutes in length and the host has asked you to bring some items in a specially designed container that you are to make as keepsakeke for the host. You have a week to prepare for this important interview so you may want to review the novel a bit to make sure you talk about the important elements of setup, problem and solution. I donÂ’t need to tell you that though, as you are a famous author in your own right. The audience will be reviewing your performance based on the guide on the back of the sheet so you definitely want to be prepared to do a good job.
Math - Most students handed in their unit tests that were to be corrected for homework. I think it was a great way to review the material from the last unit and still get credit for it. Do questions "On Your Own" #1-6 for class on Tuesday.
