This week, all students are doing many reading related assignments inside and outside of class. The tenth graders are finishing a book club book where they have identified the twelve stages of the heroic journey. They will turn in notes in class tomorrow, then begin working on a presentation to show how this pattern is shown in the book they read. They have been having discussions along the way and after the reading is done, they get to use their creativity and their knowledge to make a multimedia presentation. Today we created our rubric, then groups will start working on their presentations. We hope to have an audience full of parents for our presentations, which will be next week, on Wednesday or Thursday. Watch your email for information on this event!
In ninth grade students are reading a biography of James Madison and summarizing chapters as they read. We are currently reading about the writing of the Constitution and the many difficult decisions that were considered in that process. Students took their first vocabulary quiz today and made an organizer for next week's quiz.
Students in all grades will also have their September book report on Thursday, September 29. This is their self-selected book from their reading log. This book report will be a one-questions essay done completely in class. Check in with your student to make sure his or her book is completed before this date. Once the book is done, students should choose their October book and get reading on that one! Have a great week! Keep reading!
