709 ELA-Mr. Hughes Assignments

CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE! YOU'VE OFFICIALLY FINISHED THE 7TH GRADE!

Don't worry, today isn't going to be a real long lesson, I just want you to think about this whole school year, and tell me your favorite part, and why. Then you can go on and enjoy your summer and get ready to become the new seniors of David A. Boody!

As always, the question is attached below on Google Doc.'s.

CONGRATS AGAIN!

ONE MORE DAY OF SEVENTH GRADE AFTER TODAY! WOW!

Since you guys will officially be 8th graders as of Friday, I think now is a great time to watch the trailer for a movie called "8th Grade." This movie is 2 years old and had an actual 8th grader playing the character. Some of you may have seen the film already, all I'm asking you to do is watch the trailer, attached below. The movie was very famous and well received by audiences because of it's accurate portrayal of what being a student around your age is actually like.

I'm also attaching an article about the movie that is OPTIONAL to read, if you'd like to know more about the film. It does contain spoilers however, so if you do want to watch the film after seeing the trailer and don't want to ruin anything, keep that in mind.

Watch the video, and answer the question on the Google Doc.

Good morning!

Today you will think about ONE goal that you have. Whether it be a goal for school, or a future goal about your life. You will watch a youtube video about SMART goals and look at the attached image about smart goals. After watching, you will complete the google doc attached and create your own goal.


Please email or message me if you have any questions or if you need any help! I look forward to reading all of your goals!

Have a great day!

Watch the video attached, and answer the question on the attached Google Doc.



Vocab:

Thesis - a long essay involving personal research, written by a candidate for a college degree.

It's our last week of 7th grade! Such a bitter sweet moment. Take your time today to complete the word search of some of the vocabulary we worked with together this school year. The word search is attached.

When we look at an image while doing a "See, Think, Wonder" we have specific things to document.

See: Physically what you see in the image. Like shapes, colors, facts. Things that cannot be disputed.
Think: What we think or believe is happening in the image. Are these people? Are they doing something? What do we think the image is showing the viewer?
Wonder: Something we WONDER or question about the image. Why did the artist do this verse this. etc.

You have two pieces of art. Your job is to fill out the "See, Think, Wonder" chart for both images with AT LEAST 5 THINGS in each category. You can obviously do more than 5 if you'd like to. After that, answer the question below and then click "TURN IN" so you get credit for the assignment.

Today (and tomorrow) we are going to be working on reading the next 3 chapters in Lyddie. Before our essay we had read the first 14 chapters, so now we're going to be reading chapters 15, 16, AND 17. Our reading's will be followed by discussion questions.

It's up to you to go at your own pace, but at least chapter 15 and the corresponding discussion questions for it should be completed on the first day (April 1st). By 3PM on April 2nd, all 3 chapters and the discussion questions should be completed.

I've attached the pdf. version along with audio links for these chapters. I am also adding a document with the questions on them for you to answer. I should see that you've completed chapter 15 today.

TURN IN this document by 3pm April 2nd only when all the questions are answered.

Today is the day we SUBMIT! We have spent the past week working on our argumentative essay so today is the day we proofread, edit, make any changes, and complete the proper essay format.

All the resources and supplies you need are attached, including the rubric you will be graded on. Reference it so you know that you've completed everything you should have while writing this essay. When you are done completely with EVERYTHING, click the TURN IN button at the top of your document to submit your final draft of your essay.


Update: Since a lot of you have already turned in or submitted parts of your essay, I've attached a Google Docs Template to THIS assignment for you all to copy and paste the paragraphs you've written already on this Doc. Then you can just turn in this document.

Make sure to turn-in/submit this Do Now document to be marked present on the attendance sheet.

Today we are working on our conclusion paragraph for our argumentative essay. Remember to add to the original document we started last Monday, but still do not submit it or turn it in just yet.

You will be graded for the individual work we see you doing each day. As always, resources and supports are attached to help you with completing your conclusion paragraph.

Today we are doing i-Ready. Remember we have to have 90 minutes of i-Ready a week, so make sure you are doing your NEXT LESSONS and are completing your quizzes. As always, I take the highest of your quiz scores, so make sure you're completing something so I have a grade for you for today.

I've attached helpful tips.
