Winter Break! Homework and Looking to 2nd Semester

I hope you all have a wonderful, amazing, fantastic, restful, eventful break!

As you guys go off and enjoy yourselves, I'm excitedly working on your next units!  When we come back, our unit will focus on persuasive writing while we read a memoir of the Iranian Revolution called Persepolis.  Afterwards we're planning on doing a sampling of poetry from around the world, and ending the year with a short story unit.

Remember, the other half of your Parallel Reading is due next semester.  An awesome goal would be to have your book on the day we come back.  You have to get a book from the other half of the list. 

Don't forget your vocabulary!  When we come back, we'll be starting with Unit 7.  As always, miniquizzes and major quizzes will alternate every Monday.  You can go ahead and do your Unit 7 workbook.

I'll be moving all of the current resources to 1st Semester Resources tab--so that the information will still be there for you to look at.  Remember, the Final Exam for the course will be cumulative.

Again, have a fantastic break and see you in January!
