What's happening in 7th & 8th grade Literature
The upper grade students (7th & 8th grades) are currently reading the novel, The Diary of Anne Frank. They are also learning about the Holocaust & World War II in History. In addition, the students are responding to Anne's diary entries by writing in their Literature response journals. For example: students responded to: What do you consider to be your most vital belongings that you would bring with you if you were to go into hiding for an unknown length of time?

This sounds great and probably accounts for the preliminary reading score of 80.3% at/above grade level for our eighth graders. Keep up the great work!
I would bring my dog and all the photos of my family and friends. My parents died a while ago and the photos I have of them are some of my most cherished items. I guess I would bring some books to read and a few sketch books.
