ELA –
We've been jotting away about our chosen books. Students completed 4 new jots this week about author's craft and analytic responses to characters, setting and plot.
Students should be finished rereading their books by Friday, February 2nd. Next week will focus on starting to formulate a companion book with chapters and long, analytic responses that show each student's individual thinking about his/her book.

Social Studies –
Students began The Classical World unit this week by focusing on geography. This is the first time they have looked at a civilization that isn't a river valley and we have been examining the challenges of more difficult living circumstances. It's all about controlling the Mediterranean Sea and the crossroads of trade. On Friday, we graded the Geo Challenge for Greece and the Vocabulary Activity. There will be a vocabulary test next Friday.
Next week we will start examining the different governments that developed in Greece - including the differences between a democracy and republic.
