Week 15

We are so close to the end.  Keep up the hard work and pull through until the end!

Honors 10th World Lit
This week we're starting the last argument essay of the year as well as finishing up Oedipus and the Poisonwood Bible.  The two weeks when we come back are going to be filled with summative assessments.  Please use Thanksgiving Break to make sure that you are up to date and ready for the final countdown to Mid-Terms.

10th World Lit
Your Parallel Reading Book Review Assignment is due by Midnight on Friday 11/21!  Remember, you can turn it in late, with a -30 penalty up until the Monday after the break.  You can also negate that -30 if you turn in an Errand Pass on Monday, as per the syllabus.  Make sure you're meeting the standards of the rubric.  Check and double check you've answered all of the questions and have completely answered the questions.  Did you remember about the extra credit?  Check your Parallel Reading Assignment Packet!

Also, when we come back, we'll have our Oedipus Unit Test.  Check your MUB grade to see how much studying you have to do!  Did you take your Cornell Notes?  Are you using them to study EVERY DAY?  Do you need to go over Oedipus over the break?  The online textbook is linked on the Resources page.  Do you need to retake your Cornell Notes so you can turn those in on the day of the Test?

Yearbook
Every page assigned needs to be submitted before we leave for Winter Break in order to meet our Plant Deadline (it's over the break).  In class we discussed that the Green Deadline will count as your Midterm Exam this semester.  Make sure that you are done with everything you need to do on time.  Remember, you have one Year 2, two Lead Editors, and an adviser to help you make your deadline, but it's up to you to do the work!

Week 14 (4 weeks til MidTerms)

Hello All!

Honors 10th World Lit
We're moving through the Poisonwood Bible as well as Oedipus.  We discussed in our classes and the students agreed that they will have a shorter ATA for each text on the same day, but will have 2 Unit Tests on different days.  See the calendar during December for details.

10th World Lit
Our Parallel Reading Assignment is due next week!  Make sure you've finished reading your book and are ready for that draft.  We'll have 2 days in the lab to work next week.  We're also getting ready for our final unit Test on Oedipus.  Check the calendar for upcoming important dates!

Yearbook
We're in the final stretch.  Our Orange and Yellow deadlines are as follows:  Year 1s are due by next Monday.  Year 2s are due by a week from Friday.  All pages from both deadlines have to be in before Thanksgiving Break.  We have a plant deadline that we have to make.  The green deadline will be in December.  Based on the number of students who took formal pictures, we may have to adjust some people's assignments--it will be okay and if you work hard, you'll have the time to finish, so long as you work hard during class.
