Reading and Writing Work

With our final completed, this week we will finish important reading and writing tasks and move on to our final project.  Ninth graders will finish The Great Gatsby this week.  They should be prepared for a pop reading comprehension quiz any day this week.  We are having great discussions about different themes in this book.

Tenth graders started working on a final writing assignment using a classwork assignment they completed earlier this quarter.  They are taking their most valuable idea from Animal Farm and the current news articles they found that represents this idea.  Students are wriitng to explain how this important idea shows up in various genres of literature, from Animal Farm, to a current news article, to a fable, to their own book, or maybe even to a Dr. Suess book.  This essay is due on Thursday.  We will also spend class time on their #adulting website project.  Both classes have graded assignments so please encourage your student to stay engaged and keep working!  Have a great week!
