In English class, all classes have been working on narrative writing. They have also learned the basics of MLA format, which is the standard format for English and literature classes. The tenth graders are presenting their "I Remember" poems this week. Parents, you should have received and email with times for each class. Feel free to bring grandparents or other family members who are available at that time. Please come and listen to these wonderful narrative poems. The tenth graders had a review on sentence fragments and run on sentences have some IXL work to do this week. After presentations, the tenth graders will begin learning about the Heroic Journey and how it is expressed in literature, both ancient and modern.
The ninth graders are finishing their Introduce Yourself narrative project. They have worked hard to write five essays about themselves, some on assigned topics and some self-selected topics. They will make a cover in class on Thursday. They may want to bring in a pciture of something from home for this task. They will have an oral presentation to deliver to their classmates that they will prepare after Labor Day. Soon we will start reading a biography of a founding father.
We are accomplishing many goals in all classes. I appreciate the students' hard work and cooperation in class each day! Have a great week!
