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.
