It’s an exciting time in the Middle School English department as we actively pursue and interest in reading and writing. The 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have learned the importance of taking response notes over the past couple of weeks to prepare them for the demands of reading novels and studying for their classes. Every time the students read, they know to circle, underline, highlight, doodle, and whatever else they like to make them a part of the story. Why are they doing this? To become active readers or in simpler terms, to have a conversation with the story they are reading. It is Mrs. Candelier’s desire that this will foster an appreciation for written language.
