Students received a review sheet today that they can use to study tonight. Stapled to it is a mock test that should be completed for homework for tomorrow. The test will be Friday. If parents would like me to send them a copy of the review and mock test because their child has not brought it home, they can e-mail me, and I will e-mail it to them as an attachment.

Gr. 7 Language Arts - Mrs. MacInnis

Students are to begin writing one paragraph (at least 5 sentences in length) to explain "Why the American Film Institute declared E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial to be one of the top 10 most inspirational American films ever produced." They can consider some of the following: the message of the story; what the film says about helping, friendship, love, sacrifice, humankind; and what feelings or emotions the film arouses. The paragraph needs to be double-spaced and typed. We will hopefully be using the drop box to submit them. Rough copies are due Thursday. Students should, at the very least, do some brain storming tonight, while the movie and the ideas from our class discussion are fresh.
