My goal is to give you NO H/W (apart from Reading) on Thursday night, so each of you enjoy your Halloween. This breakdown tells you exactly what needs doing for the rest of the week.

Writing Classes
Take additional notes on 'competitive sport in schools' using the resources below. You must have opinions for both sides of the issue. Use these links:


You must select one of these resources below and continue taking notes in the boxes in your Research Based Writing doc.). Your notes will be INSPECTED for completion on Thursday. (Many of you may choose to use two sources)


“School Sports: The pros and cons” by Raven J. Railey
·       
“Debate: Should Kids Under 14 Play Contact Sports”

We will be debating in class on Thursday, then writing up your stance. You will not have time to do research in class. You will need this material for both the grammar class and the writing class. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH NOTES!


Reading Classes
Make sure your Reading Log is up to date. You will be creating your 'reading ladder' using this data in Friday's class - Make sure you have a rough idea of how many pages are in each book.

Reading Book Clubs presentations Due: Fri. You can present these in any format you chose. Finish these Wednesday so you can enjoy your Halloween

Optional: Download the Overdrive App and set it up on your portable device. Steps explained again in the video below


No other H/W for the rest of this week!
