Welcome Back, Knights!!

Immersion:  This week, we will continue to work on our Halloween descriptive paragraph.  Once the planning sheet is submitted, Mme Mansfield will provide feedback for changes to be made.  For this writing task, we are focusing on the agreement of the adjective with the noun it describes as well as verbs in the present tense.  Students will write their paragraph once they get the go-ahead from Mme. 

Social Studies:  There will be a test next Tuesday.  The test will be on the 4 concepts of historical thinking as well as the evaluation of primary vs secondary sources.  All the notes and concepts are available in the Hapara Workspace.  This week we will complete a practice test and will take it up on FRiday, October 30th.

Immersion:  This week, we will be learning about oral communication strategies.  Rather than relying on our common knowledge of the English language, students will be begin to use strategies that will allow them to improve their French fluency dramatically.  We will focus on the first 2 of these strategies:  Using gestures and explaining differently. (Lessons are available in the Hapara Workspace: Immersion - 7e année)
