This week we will take the English final in all classes on Tuesday. All classes have had a list of topics that will appear on the final. We have reviewed ways to prepare for this final as well. Students may use their notes, but will only have the class period to complete their exam. Of course, we still have three weeks of school left so there will be additional grades in the fourth quarter, but the final counts as 20% towards the semester grade.
Ninth graders will continue on reading The Great Gatsby after the final. We are enjoying reading that book and had fun acting different parts of it out last week. Tenth graders will have some companion texts to compare with a valuable idea they found in reading Animal Farm.
In addition to the final for all classes, the reading log assignment goes back into effect this week. We suspended that assignment with state testing for the last two weeks, but we are back to reading a minimum of 20 minutes a night.
Have a great week!
