Today students had their first quiz - a review of elements of plot, reading strategies, and the nonfiction genre. We then introduced the story "Seventh Grade" from the Literature book. We'll be reading it in class tomorrow. For writing, we completed lessons 6 & 7 in the narrative unit - "Using Strong Verbs to Show Emotion" and "Developing Ideas in Writing."

Homework:
* "Seventh Grade" vocab/grammar worksheet
* Read for 20 minutes.
* Project Planning Sheet - due 9/21
