7th Grade Language Arts-Spectacular Seventh Graders Assignments

Remember that this is supposed to encompass an entire month's (or so) worth of reading. So, it's hard to give a minimum length but I feel 3/4 of a page should be okay. Please look into my post - "How to Talk About Books."

This is where you will turn in the final draft. The rubric I will be using to grade your work is attached. I'm always happy to look over your writing but just don't come to me a few hours before it's due!

We're going to read this short story in two halves. Complete one of the question bookmarks for each half.

These "bookmarks" will help us be a bit more involved with our reading. This is a place where the questions that run through your mind as you're reading will be recorded. I'll be doing my own example in class and attach my example.

This assignment is intended to get you started on reflecting on your life and to use writing for self-expression. I've mentioned that we want to try to cover as many letters as possible in this encyclopedia about you. I would like A MINIMUM OF 26 ENTRIES, so if you can't get one for a few letters just make sure you have extra entries for other letters. Another part of the grade is spelling, punctuation, and grammar. It doesn't have to be perfect but I would like for you to read through your writing and try to find the sentences that just sound "weird."

I am adding my draft which shows the format that I would like for you to follow if you're turning in a google doc. EXTRA CREDIT is available through making a creative final product of this assignment (i.e. Small book made out of construction paper or a Google Slides presentation).
