This week in English, both classes are reading literature. Ninth grade is reading either The Red Badge of Courage or Iron Thunder. Both are Civil War books dealing with similar themes. The ninth grade classes are having vocabulary quizzes on Tuesday, covering words from the first few chapters of their books. Ninth graders will also have a Root Word quiz on Thursday, covering all 15 roots.
Tenth graders are halfway through Animal Farm. They will need to be prepared for both a vocabulary quiz and a comprehension quiz next week. Both classes will complete their January book report in class this Thursday, Jan. 28. We are reading four books in four months and will have a one page assessment on each book. This will count as a test grade. The books should be appropriately challenging for the students. If any student needs help selecting their February book, I will be happy to help. Keep reading!
