English class is composed of writing workshop and spelling/vocabulary. Every Wednesday, students will have a spelling or vocabulary test. Vocabulary words can be found in their book, Vocabulary Workshop. In spelling, students select fifteen words to study from lists located in their spelling folders. ***A spelling test is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov 11.*** During second quarter our studies will focus on essay-writing. Every student will be expected to write two essays, one on a self-selected topic of interest, and the other on an assigned topic. Students will also begin to publish their best first quarter writing on the seventh grade writing website. --Mrs. St. Louis
