How should 7th-grade students prepare for English lessons?

These exercises will be reviewed in the video. They should have their guided-notes pages ready so they can follow along and take additional notes. On scheduled workdays, they should gather any materials needed for the current writing assignment.

Before literature lessons in Video B, students should prepare for what they will be covering that day. If they are about to begin a new literary work, they should gather their student edition and guided notes. If they are discussing a literary work, they should read the work before beginning the lesson as well as gathering their student edition and guided notes.

What will students need to do after the lesson?

After lessons, students should complete any assignments given in the video. If a longer project was announced, they should plan for completing the work.
