This is a busy week! With tenth graders taking the PSAT on Tuesday, ninth graders will get extra time to complete their English projects and will get to combine to present them to both classes. Both ninth grade classes will meet to share playlists, cover art, and dioramas showing symbolism from The Red Badge of Courage. All of this will help students prepare for their end of the book test on Thursday. Students may use their notes but no book on the test.
Tenth graders are working on a research paper in Government about a bill that is being introduced in this legislative session. This assignment is helping students research a current topic and find quality sources. Mr. Martin has helped students understand the issues addressed in their bill and we spend time in English reading and synthesizing that information. We have spent time preparing for this major assignment by using IXL to learn important research writing skills. Students should be applying these skills currently in their writing. If you have not asked your tenth grader about his or her bill, you definitely should!
