Mrs. Borth – Middle School English/Literature

Posted on September 24, 2009, by Jennifer Borth, under Middle School Notes.

7th Grade
We are currently reading Ten Little Indians also known as And Then There Were None. This is an Agatha Christie murder mystery which the students really seem to enjoy. Students are also given twenty different vocabulary words every two weeks. These words can be found on my web page. We study these words together in class each day, and students are required to take an on-line quiz over these words – www.vocabtest.com. The test dates for these are also found on my web site.

This year I am combining an ELA research paper with their science project research paper. This paper will take six weeks to write, so students need to be thinking of exactly what they want to do as an experiment. They may still work with a partner, but they will write their papers individually. They will receive a grade in both Science and English for this paper.

8th Grade
We are finishing The Giver. Please check my website or your child’s planner for test dates. We will also have a writing assignment that will be assigned after the novel is finished. Just as a reminder, students still need to take their on-line quizzes this year. They can be found at www.vocabtest.com. We have vocabulary quizzes every two weeks.
