Good afternoon everyone!
Parallel Reading is an assignment that takes place outside of class that goes along with what we're learning in our regular classes. See below for your parallel reading assignment :)
10th World Lit
Find a copy of your parallel reading assignment here. Yes, it is long. Yes, this is a 2 month long assignment. Make sure you stay on top of your formative deadlines so that your summative deadlines don't become overwhelming. You'll need your book by Monday, so you'll need to get your permission slip signed before Monday.
Honors 10th World Lit
We will have 2 more parallel readings for this semester. For our first parallel reading we'll be reading selections from The Iliad by Homer, specifically translated by W. H. D. Rouse. It is recommend that you get your own copy so you can write/highlight/sticky in your book. Your first assignment will be given on Monday, so please have your copy (or a copy of the permission to borrow form) by then.

Fall Break Extra Credit -- World Lit
Hello all,
All World Literature students are being given the opportunity to complete some extra credit over the course of the Fall Break.
Click here for the options for the assignment. Please make sure you read all of the instructions and requirements carefully.
Yearbook students have been given an extension on some of their deadlines in lieu of extra credit. Please see the Yearbook Calendar and note the new deadlines. However, if they want to participate in the last option on the World Lit Extra, I will put that letter as a 10 point published deadline extra credit.
I hope you have a great break!

Week 6
Hello All,
Progress Reports come out the week we come back from September Break, so make sure you use this week to catch up on whatever you need to in order to get your grades where you want them before the Progress Report.
10th World Lit (Honors and On Level)
This week we're doing targeted practice for the GHSWT and the AP test in a synthesis argument essay. The articles are available in the classroom only, but the rubric is on the blog. The deadline for this is on Friday, but there is an incentive for the students to finish by Thursday.
Yearbook
If you are not happy with your grade, you have this week to make your page happen. We have a couple of more draft deadlines before your pages are due, so use this week to get pictures, interviews, and captions. If you turn in your page early, you can earn extra credit.

Week 5
Hello all,
This week the World Lit students finished up their first unit. They'll also have their first vocabulary quiz next Monday. The link for the first 10 words' flashcards is on the resources page. Also, if you didn't buy a vocabulary book, they will be on sale in Ms. Coane's room on Monday from 7:45-8:15.
Yearbook has had their first assignment due and some students are 100% on top of their assignments, and some students are not. They're grades will reflect this. You can make it up, but you'll have to catch up and quickly to make up for lost time.

Open House/Argument Essay/SAT Test Prep
Hello everybody,
I hope you're having a fantastic week.
We have a few announcements. First, Open House is tonight from 6:30-8ish. I would love to see you! To the point that I'm offering extra credit if you show up (parents, I mean, I see students every day). If you cannot attend, I understand, but I would like an email just saying hello, who your child is, and any questions or concerns you have about the class. Yearbook parents, meet in my regular classroom, 2209.
Argument Essays. Today students were assigned the Argument Essay that is linked on the Resources page. I've extended the deadline. Your rough drafts need to be done before school on Tuesday, the same day as our ATA, however, your final drafts aren't due until Wednesday at 8:20 (if you turn it in on turnitin.com) or in class (if you hand write it in pen). This is one day later than I told my 1st period, so I wanted to make sure you received the memo. Also, this does not mean don't do work on Friday in class! If you can finish by tomorrow, then do your future self a favor and give yourself less stress~!
Finally, USA Test Prep has added a Writing component and SAT Prep that you can use. Click here for a letter explaining how to use it. Hint, we may have some of these assigned in class, so you need to have a log in for Kell in the next week or so.
In yearbook this week we assigned our first deadline. While there are several draft deadlines, the actual page is due on Sunday, September 28th. There are so many steps that need to be completed before the page goes to the publisher--please make sure you are not only on top of, but ahead of your draft deadlines to make sure you can complete your published deadline. Some students already have really good ideas. Some students haven't finished their assignment due on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to this year and this book, but it will only be as good as the effort you put into it.
