In Writing class, we've officially wrapped up our sentence diagramming unit. Students did amazingly well on diagramming and I'm so pleased to see how far they have progressed since the beginning of the year. Those test grades are already posted online. Next up, we will begin going over some of the specific types of phrases and clauses.
After finishing our persuasive posters, students are beginning the always exciting City Project. For this, students are creating their very own city. The town that they create should be the ultimate place to live and work and feature all of the amenities your student feels is important. So far, they've made a list of the businesses they want to include in their town and are now in the process of laying out the map of their city. The heart of the project involves students understanding the importance of writing for a purpose - in this case, to attract new residents to their town - and more information will be forthcoming. (But rest assured, no 3D models will be involved!)
