Unit 3 Perseverance

We have begun our investigation of perseverance in English Language Arts. Our essential question this quarter is, "How does the setting allow characters to persevere?".  Students are currently reading Fever 1793, which follows the life of Mattie, a teenage girl, who lives in Philadelphia during an outbreak of yellow fever.  Students are annotating, highlighting, and creating footnotes in their novels.  Each week students are completing an Grab Bag that resembles the ELA PARCC test which they will be taking March 2nd-4th.
