This week in English the tenth graders finished reading Animal Farm. They will read some different texts to compare to the book and begin a comparative writing assignment. They will also select a project to extend their knowledge of the book. We will have a test on this book after the writing and the project are complete.
The ninth graders continue to read The Red Badge of Courage or Iron Thunder. We have focused on eight types of figurative language and we are searching for examples of each type in the book as we read. These figurative language examples will be on their final test. We are also selecting new vocabulary words for a quiz next week.
All classes will need to select their February book for their in class book report. This will be on the last Thursday in February, Feb. 25. Keep reading this week!
