Current+Projects

Sorry for the lack of updates. With finals week things got hectic.

Welcome to 2nd semester!

We are beginning this semester by studying Romance Literature. We will be reading various heroic tales about knights and maidens in distress. Students will also be completing a few projects to go along with this. More details to come as we delve into this unit.

__Lord of the Flies-completed 1st semester__ We have begun reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Every Tues and Thursday a chapter is due and the class will discuss these chapters in detail. (See the schedule.) There will also be chapter quizzes after every 2 chapters.

At the end of this unit, students will be giving a 6-8 minute speech on a topic from the book. While reading, students should be noting when their topic appears and the importance of its appearance. Assignment Sheet.

We will be doing various in class activities and small group projects throughout this unit. We will finish with the book before winter break.

Survival Guide- Due Wed 11/18

__Writing__ We're beginning this year by hitting writing hard. Students will be working on elaborating and fully supporting their points. We'll start of focusing on just one paragraph and one point. Once students get the hang of that we'll add another paragraph and another until we have an entire paper. Students will be doing a lot of responding to comments made by me to help them pull that information out of their heads and get it on paper.
