Today all classes did their end of year reflective writing and took a grammar exam. For tomorrow, everyone should review any notes they have from Language Arts in 8th grade (or 7th grade if for some amazing reason they still have them). Tomorrow in class we will be doing a Year In Review. Review in advance will help!

Today all classes received an outline form to use to prepare for writing their two paragraph mini-essay in class tomorrow. The prompt is below. Click here to download the outline document.
Write a two paragraph mini-essay comparing the protagonist at the beginning of your book to the protagonist at the end. In each body paragraph, use at least 3 DQs (include page numbers) to support your point.
*Your first topic sentence should include the title and author as well as the name of the protagonist.
**The second topic sentence should indicate the catalyst or turning point that initiates the change in the character.
We also worked on grammar in all classes today. Each class will take an exam over the grammar they have studied next week on Wednesday.
