In Social Studies 7 - Rise of Islam - We will examine the beginnings of Islam and the rise of the Islamic Empire in the next three weeks. This week, we will connect Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and draw on their religious similarities and differences.
In Language Arts 7 - This kickoff will take the class back to poetry up to Winter Break, with periodic poetry assignments throughout the rest of the year in both LA7 and SS7. We will examine the different writers and forms to develop our own voices not just as poets, but as writers. We will focus on great words and great sentences. We will use the six word memoir and expand that to the sestina. We will work with rhyme and rhythm. We will harvest our ideas from our narrative and argumentative writings, as well as from our readings. We will learn to incorporate a few literary elements and rhetorical devices into poetry, and use these elements going forward into our argumentative essay unit.
