This Week in 7th Grade ELA ...

We've been reading Tales of O.Henry: Retold Timeless Classics. The vocabulary words that we've studied are: ransom, stake, shiver, rustle, & scalp. The literary device that we've studied is characterization, which includes static vs. dynamic characters, round vs. flat characters, and protagonists vs. antagonists. 

Lesson 3 vocabulary worksheets were handed out Monday. We discussed the meaning and examples of the 15 vocabulary words. The sheet should be completed as homework and is due Thursday. Students will take a vocabulary test on the definitions Friday.
