Back to School

Homework due Wednesday, January 20th: Students should read from chapter 23 to chapter 26 of the Island of the Blue Dolphins, and then complete their Literature Circle tasks for that week.

Homework due Thursday, January 21st: Students should bring in their completed Weekly Word Lists, and come prepared for their spelling quiz. Remember to also bring in five sentences, each with a word from your list.

Homework due, Monday, January 25th: Students should come to drama class with the piece of writing they chose memorized.

Ongoing Homework: Students should remember to read for thirty minutes each evening. Reading the assigned novel does count towards the nightly reading. Remember there are no restrictions on what you choose to read, as long as you make sure you get your assigned reading done. Please remember to record the date, the title of what you read, and how many pages you read on your Reading Journal entry form. Please turn in your entry forms on Friday, so that I can review how your reading is going. I will return them to you on Monday. I would encourage you to keep up with your reading over the weekend.

The students are finishing up their work on memoirs and getting ready to start exploring the planning, researching, outlining, drafting and polishing of essays.

In Cultural Studies today the students began presentations of their Age of Exploration group project.
