Mr. C's 7th grade English

3/15/09 - The English portions of the MCAS are coming up at the end of this month. We've been practicing writing prompts in class - think about those assignments as we gear up for the real thing.

2/11/09 - We have started reading The Hobbit. Go here for more information and reader's log guidelines.

10/15/08 - We have started working on a research paper in order to prepare students for the research they will be doing in all of their classes. They will learn what sources are available, how to utilize them, and how to put together that information into a paper.

9/30/08 - Today we started learning about newspapers by using the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Directions on accessing the paper online at home can be found under the Favorite Links section.

9/22/08 - Today in class I announced an optional writing contest that you might want to enter. It's called the Letters About Literature contest. See me for help if you want to submit an entry as well as for the entry form that must accompany it when you send it in.
