Week 8

Hello all!

10th World Lit Honors
This week we'll start reading A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen (translated by Rolf Fjelde) in class.  After this week, we'll finish reading A Doll House at home as your parallel reading, and will start reading the No Fear Shakespeare version of Taming of the Shrew in class.  The time has come and I hope you have your copies!  Remember, you can access both texts online, but will need to be able to read Taming in class (either on your phone, or hardcopy).  Personally, I don't like to read on the computer/phone, so I prefer a hardcopy, but the choice is yours.  We're going to start having reading quizzes on Doll House, to make sure you're up to date at home.  We'll base our pace on how much we get through this week.  Both plays will be on the unit test.

In order to get ready for this, please complete the Background PPT and the anticipation guide (both on the Resources Page) this weekend.

10th World Lit On Level
This week we'll start reading A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen.  You'll also get your reading packet and Character Analysis Foldable Instructions and Rubric.  The foldable will be your Mid Unit Benchmark and we will have a Unit Test on this play.  If you miss a day, make sure you catch up on the online textbook linked on the blog.

Yearbook
We are getting so close to the end.  All we have left is our Spring Supplement!

Snow Days

The "Snow" Days necessitated a change in plans.  As of today, we've finally caught up with everyone and will finish the Search for Meaning Unit with today's test.

As an FYI, I'll be updating the calendar a little differently, including Activators and Summarizers.  That's what the A: and S: mean.

Happy Friday.

Change in plans

Hi all,

If you were in class today, you understand why I put in for a sub tomorrow.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience and the change in pace this will necessitate.  

Honors
I'm going to leave a review ppt with the sub for your ATA on Thursday, which will now be Friday.  Presentations will be Wed-Thurs (order will remain the same on the sign up sheet).  This means your test will be Tuesday, not Monday.

On Level
Ms. Bagley will take you to the lab tomorrow to complete your writing assignment.  Presentations are going to be on Wednesday, ATA is on Thursday, test on Monday.

Yearbook
You were given an assignment today.  Make sure it's ready to turn in on Wednesday when I get back!

I'm sorry for the change in plans.  Hopefully I'll feel well by Wednesday.  Being sick this long is very frustrating. 
Happy Monday,
