For all English classes: Reading is an essential part of improvement. Please support your student in his or her reading. The assignment is 20 minutes each school night, but that is the minimum. More time is encouraged! We will keep track of this time for the year.
In 10th grade English class this week, we are exploring different types of writing about the same topic. We are writing to express, to reflect, to inform, and to explain. We have established writing territories, topics on which we have something to say. We will use IXL to practice comma usage to prepare for ACT college testing. We will also start preparing for writing on demand this week by examining prompts.
In 9th grade English we are finishing our "Introduce Yourself" narrative projects. Thank you to all parents and family members who wrote biographies about your students! I wish you could have seen your students beaming with pride about their biographies. One student asked if he could read it to the class. I hesitated to give that assignment to make more work for parents, but I appreciate your effort and your student appreciates your effort! We will prepare to present these projects to younger Oasis students and to parents. Watch your email for the exact date and time your child's class is presenting.
