Regular assignment for the week:  Create a poster that expresses the meaning of the song "We are the World" and how it relates to this current situation. (This is the song from last week's religion)  You will attach a picture of the poster to google classroom (I will have an assignment for it there).  This is your religion grade for the week.  It is due Friday at 8am.  Please do not go out and buy materials.  Use what you have.  Computer paper is fine.  Be creative.

We will be reading Wonder this week and having assignments about it.

8th grade language arts
You will NOT need language arts minutes this week. You will only need to do recommendations that are assigned.   We will do some other things this week and less IXL.

Monday-Please make corrections on your "OLM Memory" writing on google classroom.  It was returned to you last week, and several of you have already made corrections.
Vocabulary recommendation:  Words with less-
Reading:  Do the To Kill a Mockingbird quizizz through the link in google classroom. You may only do it once.

Tuesday-8th grade book writing in google classroom--1/2 page about your favorite subject
synonyms/antonyms quizizz through google classroom.  You may wish to review your words first.  You may use your book, but you will be limited on time.
Reading:  In google classroom, watch the short video on Shakespeare.  Then answer the questions.  You may need to watch the video again to get all the questions.

Wednesday- Make corrections to your "Favorite School Year" writing in Google classroom, if you haven't already done so.
Complete the Currently April rough draft on Google Classroom
Reading:    Begin reading Romeo and Juliet.  Read the Prologue and Act 1, scene 1.  You do not need to buy a book.  Use the link provided for No Fear Shakespeare.  This site shows you the Old English (the way it was written by Shakespeare) and the plainspoken English (which is more similar to the English we use today).

Answer the questions in google classroom

Thursday-
Currently April Final draft-use computer/printer paper
attach a photo of it on google classroom

Friday--We will have ZOOM meetings today.  I will divide the class into 2 groups. One group will meet 11:30-noon, and the other group will meet noon-12:30.  You will only be allowed to enter the meeting to which you are assigned.  It should be more manageable with a smaller group.  We will go over the Romeo and Juliet questions to make sure everyone is understanding what they are reading.  You will not have any other work today.  It would've been a have day for first Friday, so I would've only had you for one period.
