This week, ninth graders are working on a group project during class time, the American Romantic Author project. Each group was assigned an author from this literary movement and each group member will research the answer to a question. Groups will share their product and oral presentations with the class on Wednesday.
Wednesday is also the book reprot day for all grades. This will be a one question essay response on the book each student selected in early October. This assignment will be completed in class, with students given 30 minuets to respond.
Tenth graders started reading Hamlet today in class. We will focus on Act 3, so we got character information in class and read parts of Acts 1-2, learning the overview of the plot. We will work on Hamlet until Thanksgiving break. All students will get a chance to "act" out this play (or read character lines in front of the class), an assignment some are looking forward to and some are dreading.
Conferences with ninth grade parents are ongoing this week. Thansk you for signing up and sticking to the schedule. Have a great week!
