First Unit Test

So far we have studied elements of the narrative: character, setting and plot. The unit test will cover concepts from class notes and learning centers. Stories on the test include "Seventh Grade" by Gary Soto, "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury, and "Ribbons" by Laurence Yep. There are 18 questions, a mix of multiple choice and short answer.


What to study:

Review the Stories

All students are welcome to stay for study help 3:35 to 4:15 p. m. If students can come before school, I will sign a morning pass as early as 7:45 a. m. Ask for the pass the day before; otherwise, the before care facilitator will not allow you to come to my classroom.


The 8th grade test will be held Friday September 10, and the 7th grade test will be held Monday September 13.
