Reading:
The Hunger Games (weekend homework was reading Chapters 24 & 25, completing one job and one three step).
We'll finish the novel this week.
Special unit on irony, plot development and characterization for assessment -- Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." We will read the play and students will analyze this literary piece.
Literature Circles will be choosing final projects for The Hunger Games and commence their work both in the classroom and at home.
Any late work is due by Friday, November 2nd, 2012.
End of the quarter is coming soon -- check your grades online.
Writing:
Final drafts of "The Right Presidential Choice" Editorials are due this week.
Harvard on Tuesday; Princeton and Yale on Thursday.
Simple Solutions Units 7 & 8 due Tuesday.
Our schedule will have minor changes this week as some of the high schools are coming to make presentations, a magic show is planned, and the Halloween reward on Wednesday.
Plan ahead on your writing work, so that you won't have homework on Halloween!
