March 3-7

5th and 6th Grade MUR: This week students began work on their independent projects! We have some very interesting topics and I'm so excited to see how the projects turn out. On Monday, we began our journey into writing research questions. After a short prezi students began writing questions and conferencing with teachers. On Wednesday, we picked new books for our literature discussion groups. 

7th and 8th Grade MUR: This week we continued our study of David Copperfield. Students were introduced to allusion and are working to find elements of allusion within Dickens's work. This is giving the students a more in-depth understanding of the novel. On Wednesday, we watched parts 10 and 11 of the BBC movie David Copperfield. Students made comparisons between the novel and digital version of the story.
