The Scholars Club

Welcome-Students

I am so excited to welcome you to the Scholars Club blog. This is a great opportunity to be creative and inspire others  who are also embracing our common core curriculum map journey. Just in case you are thinking what in the world is a "common core curriculum map journey" I am here to tell you that it is a  charted course designed to combine rigor with thinking critically through literary learning. The experiences are uniquely developed to meet goals in preparing you for college readiness, so that when you get into college you will have met the requirements for excellence and there will be little or no need for remedial classes.

This week all 7th graders will begin the Memoir Night. It is an informational text that tells the true story of the Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel. This author is also the winner of the Nobel Peace prize.
The 8th graders will begin the begin  The Giver and the 6th graders will begin Sharon Draper's Romiette & Julio.  Every text will have an essential question and will address, the comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking and include the integration of information text with literature. Plans are being made as you read this to create interactive units that will make learning fun and show case you work.

I want you to know that I respect you very much as learners. Itt is for this reason that i created this blog. I want to you to have the opportunity to get resources and  get ahead with your work. I want to give you the chance to learn and grow, as I guide and oversee the process.

Your teacher,
 Ms. Abu
