Questions to ask your student this week:
Reading This week students continued reading their fantasy novels of choice. We talked about symbols and how they are often present in fantasy novels. We ended the week by introducing the culminating project for this unit, a Literary Food Truck Festival. You can find links to the project description and rubric under the 'Reading Resources' tab. Writing Students completed a 'pitch sheet', where they pitched three possible contributions to our student newspaper and explained why they would be topics our student population would be interested in. They then chose a topic and started writing it. Some students are choosing to include interviews with teachers and/or students, so we went over how to prepare for an interview and came up with questions ahead of time. These students also practiced how to write an email to a teacher asking to set up an interview time. Most students are choosing to work with a partner, and they'll be completing the first draft of their article next week. We're hoping to have an edition of the paper published in March!
