English Fest! (grades 7 & 8)

March 24, 2010
By

This year’s English Fest for 7th and 8th grade will be on May 13th. For English Fest you are required to read 6 books and then go to Duquesne University and get quizzed on the books that you have read. The 6 books for this year were: 1.) True Grit 2.) $Money Hungry$ 3.)Going, Going 4.)The Boy in the Striped Pajmas 5.) The City of Ember 6.) Roots and Wings. Some things that we have to do at English Fest are trivia where you have to answer questions, insights where you have to explain points of a story, and talk show where you have to be a character from each book and another member of the team will be the talk show host and the talk show host asks questions to the other members.

Panorama of the East Coast

 
This Jan. 29 panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear "intertwined." Image Credit: NASA
