Quiz Central/Class Notes

I have double-weight score quizzes in English and PAP English today.  Be sure to bring something to work on after you finish.  PAP will need to work on the compare/contrast paragraph about The Phantom Tollbooth novel and dramatic adaptation.

Note:  If you’re planning to be in PAP ILA (Integrated Language Arts) next year, then you need to read Jordan Sonnenblick’s Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie before school begins August 27.  If you know a student who is planning to be in sixth grade PAP ILA, then he or she needs to read Gary Paulsen’s My Life in Dog Years.  Take care, and God bless!

Class Notes – May 15, 2012

You will have to save your Cougar Geographic at school and turn it in to me electronically.  It is due Thursday, May 17, 2012, and it’s a major grade.  I am handing back tests from Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World, chapters five through eight tomorrow in class.  I’ll post the correction/retake schedule tomorrow before I leave the building.  Good night.

Shipwrecked!

Please bring your copy of Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World to English class whether you are in my on-level or Pre-AP class.  We will be using the book in class all next week, May 7-11.  If you do not have a copy, I will have a class set available for you to use.  Take care, God bless, and be good!

Butterfly Web Quest

We worked for three days in the computer lab to complete the “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” web quest in my on-level English classes.  I think the students really benefitted from learning about the Holocaust from survivors’ stories.  This ties in with their study of Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars in their reading classes.  The packet is due on Tuesday, February 21, by 4:15 P.M.  If you’ve lost your packet or left it at school in your locker, check the link below to get your assignment done in time.

I have a meeting after school at 3:45 P.M. You will have to slide your packet under my door since the door will be locked at that time.  Take care, dear ones, and God bless!
