Corven's Language Arts Class-Week of September 19th

READING
We continue our book study of Shiloh. The students will focus on chapters 11-14. The main character in the novel, Marty, is faced with many tough choices as his lies begin to unravel. The students will examine the predictions they made earlier in the story to what actually happens in the story.

SPELLING
This week the students will focus on commonly misspelled words found in their writing. The following 15 words will need to be practiced and studied for the spelling test on Friday. Because of the short week, the test will be on Friday rather than on Thursday. The students will focus on only the spelling of these words not the definitions.
