Mrs. Borth – Middle School Literature and English

Posted on December 10, 2009, by Jennifer Borth, under Middle School Notes.

7^th Grade ELA/Literature

We are currently still working on our research paper. Students have turned in their outlines and are now working on their rough drafts. These must be submitted to www.turnitin.com by December 16^th. I will return these January 4^th in order for students to make corrections. The rough draft and the work cited page will both be completed during class time.

We are working on a newspaper project in literature class right now. Students needed a Sunday addition of the Dallas Morning News. Students will dissect this paper by locating specific articles and sections of the paper and answering many questions while creating their own articles for certain sections. We will continue on this project until Christmas break. Upon return, students will need to the novel Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.

8^th Grade Literature

We just finished Murder on the Orient Express and will be testing over this novel on December 15^th. Students will need the play A Raisin in the Sun when we return on January 4^th.
