Language Arts Assigned By: Susan MacNeill	This week we worked on poetry and grammar. Also, students were informed that they will have to read one more independent novel for the year. They may choose one from the school or bring in a book from home. We will have a 'reading Friday' class next week and will have approximately one month to read the book. Therefore, students will have to read their novels at home as well. We have begun a 'Digital Citizenship' unit in English. We will be discussing digital security, health and wellness/etiquette, healthy on-line reputations, etc. At the end of the unit, students will write a 5 paragraph process piece on ways to protect themselves while navigating the digital world. After the digital media unit, we will complete a group research project on the 'Mysteries' unit of Literacy 7. This will be a photo essay project.
