Just a quick update today!
This week we are beginning our study of The Iliad. We have already started with pronunciation and identifying different Greek gods and goddesses. We will watch two introductory videos on Tuesday or Thursday and then get into the reading of the play. Each student will be assigned a character to role play as we read through in class.
There is also a fun art project at the end which I am looking forward to!!!
After Christmas we will be starting our novel study of the book The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis.
This week there will not be any spelling or vocabulary words. I have identified some challenging words from The Iliad however, we will be completing the vocabulary for these as we read through. This means that we will likely have a test next Thursday. I will post the words on the blog once we have discussed them in class!
One last note! Students, remember there is lots of chocolate to be won! Make sure you are following instructions in class and getting to work without reminders. I have lots of green slips I would love to give out! Happy guessing :)
Thanks for reading and enjoy your week :)
