Monday (of a short week!)

All students will have a vocab quiz on Wednesday. They should be studying pages 4 and 5 of their notebooks.

HL: Students finished reading "Hound". They need to have all chapter summaries and "P&T's" done for tomorrow. HL vocab link here.  Please bookmark so you can come back to it. Also, here is the link to the Elements of Fiction notes.

SL: Most classes are finishing up with chapter 15 and will continue to read tomorrow! Vocab link here. Please bookmark so you can come back to this. Also, "Pause and Thinks" can be found here.

Thursday

HL: Students read chp 13 in Hound and did their "Pause & Think" as well as their summary. Vocabulary lesson 3 is due tomorrow, Friday. Students will pick up lesson 4, which will be due Tuesday. The quiz on these lessons will be on Wednesday.

SL: Students read chp 12 in "The Hunger Games", did their "Pause & Think" and summary. Their crossword puzzles are due tomorrow, Friday. They will be quizzed on these words next Wednesday.

Vocab

HL got their 3rd vocab lesson today. It's due on Friday. I am working on getting these words on an electronic ppt.

SL got their 2nd list. Find their words here.

We started doing our notebook checks, which will continue tomorrow. 

Tomorrow, kids will take the first round spelling bee, in class.

Weekend homework

HL classes need to read chp 12 in Hound, and write their chapter summaries. I will do a notebook check on Monday for chapter summaries for 1-12 and the "pause and think" section.

SL classes should also check that their summaries and  "pause and think" section is up to date!

"I Am From" Poem clarification

If your grade shows an NTI for the "I Am From" poem, please confirm that you have shared the final draft with me in google docs. This should have a red icon next to it, indicating that it is a "drawing".

Printing out the poem and giving it to me does not count as handing it in, I need the electronic version.

Are you getting the text reminders? Scroll down to the entry from September 24th for directions.


Vocab quiz 1 is tomorrow, FRIDAY!! Please be sure you are studying pages 2 and 3 in your notebook!

HL Critical Response & SL vocab practice

HL students took notes today on how to write a critical response. Click here to see those notes.

SL continued to practice vocab and how Greek and Latin roots combine to make new words. They tok practice quizzes to see if they are ready for Friday's quiz. These scores will be reported on PowerSchool, but will not be added into the final grade for the quarter.

Words have meanings

Today we took a pop quiz on the vocab words that will be on Friday's quiz. This will not be included on their final grade, but hopefully it inspires them to come home and STUDY!!!!

Please ask to see their notebooks, pages 2-3. These are the words they should know for Friday!
