LA+7+January

//**Welcome back, Language fans!**

If you thought last term was a blast, you ain't seen nuthin' yet! As promised, this term will be focused on using the skills you learned in '07 to learn the new skills you will need in high school. Classes will move a little faster, and you will be asked to put a bit more effort toward your finished product. You will also need to think 'outside the box' a bit more. Put your language arts hands in mine and trust me...I know you can do this.

What's up in '08? -- My Life at 25 -- Speeches (interested competitors, see me ASAP) -- The Lottery (maybe) -- More Creative Writing ... I'm thinking we should write a newspaper. -- Novel Study -- 5-paragraph essay -- Poetry / music (I haven't quite nailed this one down yet, but I'm working on it) .....and maybe a bit more, depending on timing.


 * Today...I need you to start with the discussion question. When we have finished with that, I have an exciting activity to start the new year.**//
