Journeys Chapter 24: The Voice that Changed a Nation
Author Study: Jerry Spinelli
Language Arts:
During our Language Arts time, we work on the spelling and vocabulary words that are associated with the current Journeys story we are reading in class. The students are given a spelling list each week, as well as a set of vocabulary flashcards. At the end of the week they are given a quiz on both spelling and vocabulary, so make sure they are studying at home. Additionally, this year we are working hard on developing writing skills. We are learning both the fundamentals of proper grammar, as well as the various aspects of the writing process. |
