English 9 - Great job with your Book Talks!  We'll continue those on Monday. English 122 - Today, we discussed section IV of Hiroshima, then went through the steps in identifying whether or not a website is credible.  For Monday, choose two characters in sevtion V, and write a brief summary (to be handed in) of the way their story unfolded.

English 9 - Today, you completed an in-class writing that analyzed some of the "monsters" your characters have have to face, and how the author of your novel gave your character skills and traits to helo them do so.  Remember, your completed novel packet is due on Friday, and we'll begin our book talks next week. English 122 - Last night, you were to complete your Article of the Week and section one of Hiroshima.  Today, we discussed those items, noted some really good writing in the book, and continued reading, working on the section two guiding questions.

English 9 - In class today, you continued with your novel and novel packet, then your were "zapped" a character sketch assignment.  Remember, we're only in the organization stage, so use whatever graphic organizer you think would work best at this point.  For homework, keep reading and working in your packet. English 122 - Today, we made a master list of our best Bloom's questions (just so you could judge how great they were!), then we completed a KWL chart for Hiroshima, and you were assigned your book.  We'll figure out (together) how much we're going to read to start off.

Welocme to semester two! English 9 - Today, we discussed the 5 Big Questions you'll be responsible for analyzing in your Book Talk at the end of our novel study, and you were given your novel packet.  Page 1 must be completed for tomorrow. English 122 - We ran through what we'll cover this semester, basic expectations, and how you'll be assigned grades.  For tomorrow, please complete your notation and Food for Though section for your Article of the Week.

English 9 - Hello!  Today, you enjoyed some SSR, then got to work developed a terrific quiz for one of your classmates using our Bloom's flipcharts.  We'll finish those Monday, then you can trade them and mark them yourselves.  Good work! English 122 - Hi to you, too!  In this afternoon's class, we made a new Wordle filled with adjectives about the play, the author, and the main character.  After that, we examined the last quizzes you wrote using the OCA rubrics, and tried another one.  Remember, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CLASS TIME to complete your entire multi-genre piece due on Wednesday, right?  So, please use your time wisely this weekend.

English 9 - Hi there!  In class today, we completed the short story, The Monkey's Paw, and you worked on a short in-class writing dealing with WHY you think Mr. White wished his last wish - was it for himself, Herbert, or his wife's sake?  For tonight's Article of the Week, it's a little different.  Do not do notation or summarize.  Instead, write a short paragraph to EXPLAIN (an explanatory report, right?) why the drowning in your one-minute mystery was not an accident.  Remember, your opinion doesn't mean much with support, so EXPLAIN it clearly.  Thanks! English 122 - Hello!  Congrats on finishing Dr. Faustus!  Your Article of the Week is attached to this post, due for tomorrow, of course.
