7TH Grade Journal #4 Contents

***This cannot be used as a table of Contents!!***

Folder due:

Special Notes:

Articles w/ questions go on the right side of the folder and the ones without a question go on the left side. I will put a “*” by articles that go on the right side. Title of article at top of paper, reaction, and then answer question if there is one.

 

When students watch videos in class, they take notes about the video and those go in the folder as well on the left side. The title of the video goes at that top of the paper.

 

Mr. Dorrington will announce when the folders are due to him.
