This week Ms. Cortes' ESOL Reading Connections classes are focusing on Reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition skills. We are learning to use and analyze common textual features to get information from a text. We are also learning new vocabulary words to use as we communicate with each other.
Seventh Grade students are reading the book "My Life So Far," by Enrique Garcia. Student will be working on two assignments this week:
- Event Map of the story (will be completed as we read the story)
- Coat of Arms (you will need your goals for school, for home, and personal goals)
Eight Grade students are reading the book "A Beauty of a Plan," by Angela Shelf Medearis. Assignments for this week include:
- Story Map organizer ( to be completed as we read the story)
- Your design and short essay for "A Perfect Room"
We will also be visiting the Media Center on Friday to take the STAR diagnostic test. Remember: "Reading opens the door to a great future..."
