Feb. 28th to Mar. 2nd

Projects: We continue working on the Great Depression. This week we will be focusing on the role of the government during this time period, specifically the approach of President Hoover and President Roosevelt. Students continue to work on their project websites and I confer with students daily to check on their progress.

8th Writing: Students are finishing their chosen journal prompt to turn into a formal writing piece. We will also begin another sample writing task from the Nevada Department of Education. We will be working on this task in groups/partners and share our progress as a whole class. My goal is for students to become familiar with the format they will see when taking the written portion of a writing assessment.

6th Writing: Students are finishing their chosen journal prompt to turn into a formal writing piece. We will also begin another sample writing task from the Nevada Department of Education.

Reading: We continue to work on plot and changes characters go through as the story progresses. We will be using text evidence to support our responses. In addition, we will be talking about themes in texts and how characters' actions across various texts support various themes.
