Since coming back from break, we have been learning a lot of new material and practicing that in class, resulting in not as much homework. However, this week students will have additional homework and more graded assignments. Please check the homework tab if you wnat to follow up on student assignments. All students will have a book report in class on Wednesday, Feb. 1, so books should be complete by that date.
Ninth graders are starting to read The Red Badge of Courage thihs week. They made a vocab organizer with 12 new words from chapters 1-5. All students should finish organizers Monday and study thi sweek to be prepared for the quiz on Monday Jan. 20. They should also be prepared for possible comprehension quizzes each day after reading. Ninth graers will have IXL standards on figurative language assigned this week and due in a week.
Tenth graders are completing a college prep unit. They are working on writing to respond to typical college essay prompts with word limits. A word limit enhances different limitations on a writer, so this experience is beneficial for them to try out before they are filling out college applicaitons. They will also gain experience with challenging reading passages as they will find on college entrance exams. They are practicing annotating those and reading for comprehension and accuracy. Tenth graders have IXL standards due this week and will have more assigned.
Have a great week!
