Monday -- No school Veterans Day
Tuesday -- Parent Teacher Conferences
Language Arts (Wednesday and Thursday)
We'll be viewing The Hunger Games (be sure to have your permission slips signed). Students will be constructing a t-chart showing similarities and differences between the book and the novel. During class you will be noting scenes and plot details from the movie. At home, you should be updating the second column by adding details from the book.
Books will be collected on Friday.
First assignments that are being graded:
11/9 -- Self-evaluation was due (students examined their own grades, strengths, weaknesses & set some goals)
11/8 -- Performance Assessment on how power is attained and held in society. This counts for two grades: content is a Reading test grade; structure is a Writing test grade.
11/9 -- Extra credit (electoral maps were due) --- none will be taken late.
You should have checked out a Science Fiction novel (stay at or below your lexile level). You had a four day weekend to try to read at least 1/2. You will receive a book report format this week. This will be due the Tuesday after Thanksgiving break.
Current Events is due Thursday, November 15th.
