Almost Back
Hello 8th graders!
I'm looking forward to starting the school year with you! I hope you've been enjoying the books. Be sure to have your reading logs ready by the end of the first week of school : ) We will spend the first few weeks using those books as a way to introduce the various types of discussions, thinking, and activities we will be doing throughout the school year.
Yes, I mostly copied and pasted my message to the 7th graders. So, here is my personalized salutations to you: For those of you who will be returning to the deep, dark depths of room 120: Beware! I have fangs now.
: )
Sincerely,
Mr. B.

Post Year Reflection
Becoming better at anything requires you to think back on yourself and your performance (reflection).
Brainstorm 3-4 different activities, areas of study, projects, stories, concepts this year during ELA that helped you developed as a writer, listener, speaker, or thinker (essentially, your ELA skill set) Be sure to explain why you feel that way.
Think of outside experiences this year that impacted your ELA skill set--any films, books, trips, presentations, stories, dreams, youtube videos, tweets, Spongebob episodes--that helped you think, write, listen, or speak.
I would review things we've done this year.
Look at your journals, the blog, old assignments. This may benefit you in the near future. . .

Observational Poem
How to write a poem with vivid imagery is less challenging if you take time to observe the world around you.
In your notebooks please write the following with 4-5 lines in between:
What I see:
What I smell:
What I hear:
What I taste:
What I feel/touch:
Post-observational reflection question:
How can you relate what you saw, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted to the way you feel about school? Education in general? The way you feel about your life in this current moment?
Optional HW: (but there's extra credit involved)
Please compose a 3-5 stanza poem on your observations. Try to have a larger statement on your life within your imagery. Please TYPE
