The End of Tragedy

Finally!  We're at the end of Romeo and Juliet.  Every class has finished reading it and all study guides are turned in.  It seems like it took forever, but we're actually a month and a half ahead of last year's schedule, so I don't think we're doing badly.

A couple of notes for this week that are not related to Romeo and Juliet:
     A.)  Wednesday is a half day, so your student will be released from school early.  Check the
             district website for release times.
     B.)  All students should have received a purple schedule for 10th grade from the counseling
            office.  These are due back to their advisory teacher by 12/8 (Thursday).  I've been going
            over things and talking about how to access the course selection guide with them, so they
            should all be aware.  By Thursday they should have made all decisions, gotten all signatures
            (including yours), and returned to school with it in hand.

So here's what our schedule this week looks like:

• Monday, 12/5 - we'll finish watching all movie clips, and then I'll hand out the pre-writing worksheet and explain the final assessment.
• Tuesday, 12/6 - we'll work on the pre-writing worksheet; this involves a lot of quotes, so we'll do it all in class.
• Wednesday, 12/7 - 1/2 Day (30 minute classes) - we'll finish doing the pre-writing worksheet.
• Thursday, 12/8 - career advisory - schedules are due - we'll transition over to doing the actual assessment which is not an essay, but has the same type of information on it with a short writing.
• Friday, 12/9 - the final assessment is due by the end of the hour, stapled to the pre-writing worksheet.  If time, we'll start looking at a biography for Edgar Allan Poe, which begins Module 2, Unit 1.

Well, that about covers it. As always, if we find more time to get things done, I'll adjust the online calendar. I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ciao!
