We've just started in on our new *cue British accent* Drama & Theater Unit! Many students are very excited to get the chance to express themselves through drama. We will be reading two plays in class: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street and A Christmas Carol. The Monsters play is actually a teleplay from an original episode of The Twilight Zone, and A Christmas Carol is a middle school-friendly version of the original tale. In addition to our reading, we will also be learning theater terms and including some improvisational activities as well.
This week, we will also be completing the latest round of ThinkLink testing. I will use this information to help plan future RtI activities to improve areas where students are continuing to struggle and reinforce concepts that they seem to understand.
The last AR project of 2nd quarter is due December 8/9. Many students have already finished their book and are busy wrapping up the project. Because so many students are working ahead, I will also be passing out the AR information for the first project of 3rd quarter for those that are interested getting a head start over the Christmas break.
