Project Presentations

Thank you to the tenth grade parents who came to the "I Remember" poetry sharing!  The students were thrilled to have so many parents and younger students to come listen to them.  Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to come listen to what the students wrote.  This week, tenth graders are working on forms of writing and we will begin learning about the Heroic Journey as it appears in literature.   This is the start of a new project, so in a few weeks, we will invite you again to come listen to what we've learned about this pattern.

We look forward to having the ninth grade parents come Wednesday and Thursday to listen to the students present their Introduce Yourself narrative speech.  These are short speeches, from one to five minutes, but they will go end to end.  Ninth graders turned in their projects today.  The covers look fabulous!  They are also getting a grade on their organizers and a grade for their MLA basic formatting.  Thank you for helping get their biographies done.  I look forward to listening to these speeches!

Check out the homework tab above for this week's homework.  Keep reading and have a great week!
