8th Grade British Buddies
All my class must write a letter to their buddy by Monday about an event in American History. You can also write another more friendly one too, but the History one is for a grade.
Also, check out the website of their school: http://www.humphreyperkins.leics.sch.uk/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must write your introductory letter by next Monday - the sooner you write it, the sooner you will get a response. Write it in a Word doc and email me (email address below):
rchandler@hartransom.org
Introductory Letter Format:
Name (don’t say last name)
Age
School – describe school: location, appearance, activities etc.
Where you live - tell a bit about Modesto and local areas (they may never have heard of it, so inform them that it is about 2 hours from San Francisco)
Write about your: interests / hobbies / sports / favorite teams / favorite foods / favorite music / favorite movies etc.
Family / pets etc.
Ask questions. What is it like at your school? Favorite subject? Favorite sports team? Favorite food? etc.
You get out of it what you put in!

7th & 8th Graders - go to 'Documents' to find the review packets for ELA and Social Stuides. Also, try taking some of the practice test - the answer key is at the end of the test, so check your answers and understand any errors you made.
