8.3 Students
* Monday morning at 8:00 AM, my room will be open for anyone who wishes to finish their assessment.
* Students will be working on their chapter 23 Assessments this week. Students will determine their deadline for submitting work and this will be noted in the online gradebook. Students should adhere to their own deadlines.
* Make sure if you are attending Tommy Guns on Friday, you assemble your costume and know your facts about your individual.
For 8th graders, some of these sites might help you with your Bag of Poverty:
* If you are looking for a link about modern poverty, check out the news segment here.
* If you are looking for a link about people of color during the Great Depression, here is a link to a Langston Hughes poem that is one of his best. This is a dramatic reading of the poem from Danny Glover. (Guess who does the introduction.)
* A link to the description of social realism can be found here.
