Mrs. Borth – Middle School English and Literature
Posted on November 11, 2009, by Jennifer Borth, under Middle School Notes.
7th Grade ELA
We are currently working on our research paper which coordinates with your child’s science fair project. Instead of writing a research paper in English class and again for science, Ms. Robb and I have combined these assignments into one paper. Students will receive a content grade in science for their paper and a grammar grade in English for the same paper.
In literature we are currently acting out the play Twelve Angry Men. However, 7A like to call it Twelve Angry Women. They are doing a wonderful job. Please remind your student that their questions that accompany each act are turned in for grading at the completion of the act.
8th Grade Literature
At the request of the 8th grade, we are currently reading Murder on the Orient Express. This murder mystery has the students quite perplexed. We have also begun working in our ISEE book once a week. I believe that most of the 8th graders will be taking their ISEE exam in January. If you have not yet reserved a date, please visit http://www.iseetest.org to reserve your location and time. These tests will fill up quickly.
