Psalm 19:14
This is the theme of our school year in English. As a class we will be examining the following essential questions over the course of the school year:
How can we demonstrate Christ’s love in our writing?
Should we only read Christian books?
Does all our writing reflect Christ?
We are starting with a fun small writing assignment called Little Girl Will Do Anything for a Stuffed Animal. We will watch a short video in class and write the ending to the video. Students are to write an alternative ending from the first person perspective of a person or item in the video.
Students should keep in mind the English Writing Assignment Criteria. We will be working with this assignment to review some basic grammar concepts that will help us throughout the year.
