2nd nine weeks

This nine weeks we are studying Europe, WW2, and the Holocaust. The students are researching the Holocaust, reading non-fiction, and fiction material. We have a guest speaker coming to speak to us about harrassment, bullying, and the Holocaust. We will be watching documentaries and a movie over the book read in class, Number the Stars. Finally, students will write a transactive portfolio piece (article, letter, or brochure) to be submitted to their 7th grade folder. Topics to choose from are Tolerance, Bullying, or Friendship.
