Week 9

Hello All!

On Monday, 9th Grade worked through Langston Hughes, while American Lit wrote thank you letters to our overseas soldiers.  Click here for instructions for the letters.

On Tuesday, the 9th Grade continued with their Poetry Presentations, which will continue through Thursday.  American Lit finished up Romance and moved on to Transcendentalism.

On Wednesday, 1st and 2nd block will be replaced by the PSAT and a diagnostic test in homeroom.  Everyone should report directly to homeroom.  4th Block will begin Transcnendentalism.

On Thursday, American Lit will begin talking about the Transcendentalists.  Click here for a copy of the handout I'll pass out on Thursday.

On Friday, we will have an in class writing day.  Students are expected to bring a printed copy of their finished notes for their Research Papers so that they can begin to draft their paper in class.  You do not want to do the alternative assignment, please bring in your finished notes!!!  Even if you don't bring in your notes, you'll still have to do the regular essay, on top of a different, unpleasent, in class assignment. 

Other notes:  Vocabulary workbook work is due on Tuesday.  On Friday, you may bring in 20 original sentences using the vocabulary words to use as notes for your open note vocabulary quiz for unit 8.
