Language Arts Homework due Thursday, February 3rd: 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.
Drama Homework due, Monday, February 8th, 2010: 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.
Today in Language Arts the students worked on writing book reviews of novels they would recommend. Using suggestions from last week's lesson on what are the features of a good book review, the students began drafting their own reviews.
In Cultural Studies, we discussed the first European settlers in California, and what was Spain’s reason for wanting settlers in California in the first place?
In drama the students presented their memorized pieces, and discussed how understanding the Who, What, When, Where, and Why can help an actor focus their performance.
