Honors World Lit Field Trip and Deadlines

Hello everyone!

I'm really excited that so many students have already brought in their permission slips and $22.  The deadline is tomorrow.  I have put in both the permission slips, the money, and the lunch money (optional) as zero weighted grades in Synergy.  If you want to check if your child has turned in their stuff, "Not Due" means no, "100" means yes.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.

Also, tomorrow the students will have their 2nd Night Quiz and the Part II of the Packet is due.  Please make sure they are prepared.

Edit:  Due to request, I've decided not to collect the Art part of the Part II assignment until next Thursday, the day of the ATA.  If you want to turn it in early, that's fine.

Happy Thursday!

Week 3

Hello All,

Open House will be at 6pm on Thursday, January 29th.  I would love to see you there.

As a reminder, check the calendar to see what's coming up in the class.

10th World Lit
Continue to read and make progress on your Parallel Reading.  Remember, there is no safety net this semester; you have to turn in everything.  We're working through "The Metamorphosis" in class.  Make sure you're studying your cornell notes a little bit every few days.  Don't forget about your vocabulary quiz on Friday.

Honors 10th World Lit
We're moving forward to Part II of Night.  In class, our Metamorphosis MUB is on Thursday.  Make sure you've read through Metamorphsis so that you are ready for that test.  If you need to come early or stay late to read the book version, let me know.  Field Trip Money and permission slips are due by Friday.  Please make sure you have $22 cash or check made out to Kell High School.  We'll order lunches later, closer to the date.

Yearbook
Your blue deadline is due next Monday.  Make sure you're working hard to get everything you need done this class.  Use your time effectively.

World Lit and Honors World Lit Homework

I said it in class, but wanted to follow up.  

10th World Lit
Students will need to read "The Metamorphosis" through the end of Part 2 for Tuesday.  I copy has been placed on the resources page.  They need to take notes and come to class prepared to ask any questions they have.

Honors World Lit
Try to read through whatever you need to in order to be ready for the MUB on Thursday.  Please bring back your Field Trip Permission Slips and $22 before Friday.

Have a Great Weekend!

Your first deadline for the semester is this Thursday.  Try your best to meet your deadlines.  If you make your deadlines, you'll pass.   If you don't, it will be a lot harder of a class for you.
