Short Week Ahead!!
November 23, 2009Happy weekend before your four day break! Expect to play school Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday – Sunday hopefully you will be enjoying family, friends, food, and a well deserved break from the four walls of room 760
Seniors- We read Hemingway’s “A Three Day Blow”, and “A Clean, Well Lighted Place” and you continued to add to your facebook assignment. I assigned the first semester outside read; proposal for title due by Nov 24 and the actual hard copy of text Nov 30. The actual outside read assignment is posted on our blog- SO COME ON…GET STARTED!!! Next week we have a mere two days of class. Monday we will finish Hemingway’s “Clean Well Lighted Place” and work in our facebook groups. Tuesday we will turn in your outside read proposal and finish up any discussions on the completed short stories.
Juniors- You received your graded TSL Study Guide packet and your last TSL quiz… you are ready now for your unit final!! Remember, you do have one more section of the study guide due on Monday. Your symbols group should be culminating the weeks of work and discussion into what I expect will be a GREAT final project. We worked on critical reading and evaluative writing utilizing “The Rattler”, “Fredrick Douglas” and “The Funeral” to review writers tone and diction. Several practice paragraphs were completed and a final peer reviewed paragraph was turned in for an evaluation. I am looking forward to reading your last paragraphs, fully expecting that you have made great strides in your writing. Hey check out the outside read list and commit to a title; Nov. 24 you will turn in a proposed title and Nov. 30 you will bring the actual hard copy to class.
