Welcome! We have just finished the narrative essay which is due 10/26/2007. Also your child will be starting a new essay which will be a response to literature on a novel read in class. Periods three and four will be doing their essay on "The Outsiders" and period six will be doing their essay on "The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963. Students are responsible for bringing this novel to class each day until we finish the essay. We will be starting a unit on characters and students will be given a test on this unit before the end of the grading period. All students have been star tested. This is a program Lee Middle School uses to assess students reading range. Students then select books at their reading level to read independently at home and then they take a computer generated test on the book in class or at the library.
