ENGLISH: our lesson begins with the week's vocabulary terms (unit 7) and there are some doozies in there! Students should have a bit of fun putting these together in their writing pieces. We first list the word. then define it, then find associations to help us understand and remember the term.

LITERATURE: We read the 'November" chapter in "The Wednesday Wars" and our antagonist is beginning to understand an enjoy his Shakespeare lessons. He's read "The Merchant of Venice" and "The Tempest" falling in love with the creative insults and curses that Shakespeare uses.

RELIGION: We opened our new books for the first time today, this week exploring Advent and tyhe many symbols the Old Testament has for the coming of Jesus. We used the analogy of a blackout to help us understand the coming of the "light," that is Jesus Christ, at Christmas.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students were given a new assignment to help them understand some of the findings of the earliest discovered sites in the Indus River Valley, Mohenjo-Daro and Harrapa. This information was researched and taken up as a class.
