Mrs. Borth – Middle School Literature
Posted on September 29, 2010, by Jennifer Borth, under Middle School Notes.
Print6th Grade Literature – We are currently enjoying short stories and will not begin our first novel for another two weeks. Many of you have ordered The Face on the Milk Carton through the school, and those will arrive later next week. Everyone will need this book in class by September 26th.
7th Grade Literature - We are currently enjoying short stories and will not begin our first novel for another two weeks. Many of you have ordered Feathers through the school, and those will arrive later next week. Everyone will need this book in class by September 26th. I discovered this book over the summer and just love it. Mrs. Belcher has also read this beautiful story and will also discuss it in your student’s religion class. This novel raises many questions about faith and Jesus and is perfectly suited for both classes.
8th Grade Literature – We have finished our short story unit and have just begun reading Giver. I have a class set of this novel for students to use during class. However, if a student would like one for home or would like to be able to take notes in their novel, they will need their own copy.

The test is scheduled for October 20. We will then begin a unit on pronouns. Spelling for October includes lessons 7, 8. 9. and 10. Achievement testing is the week of October 12 so no tests or projects will be due that week.
6th Grade Literature
We just finished our first class novel, Walk Two Moons and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are now into a Fiction/Non-Fiction unit from the text book. We will read the stories in class and have comprehension and vocabulary with each story. The students will also learn the two ways to design a plot diagram. The Fiction/Non-Fiction test is scheduled for October 21. We will then begin our second class novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Assignments will include comprehension questions, vocabulary, pop quizzes, and we will thoroughly discuss the Christian symbolism in the novel. Achievement test is the week of October 12 so no tests or projects will be due that week.

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.
