Two Weeks for Term Three

Buongiorno!  What a beautiful, sunny, Sunday morning!  The birds are singing, and though rain is promised for later, the temperature is going up...it makes for a happy morning!

Well, here we are...two weeks left in term three. The year is moving fast!  We're accomplishing a lot (the lack of snow days probably helps), and we continue to push forward.  Last week we finished reading The Crucible and most classes are done watching the movie.  This week we'll finish the unit by doing the final assessment essay.  While finishing this unit, I tried to break up the monotony a bit by adding in some activities such as:

We started working on PSAT tutorials on Khan Academy - we'll do another round once the essays are written and submitted;

They read in small groups for part of the script;

They also did walk and reads to get the blood flowing - they usually like this.

So we're ready to finish this unit off.  Here's the schedule for the week:

• Monday, 3/6 - those not done with the movie will finish it; we'll do some verbs; we'll do a Type 1 journal writing to get ready for the final question; I'll hand out and we'll start working on the pre-writing packet.
• Tuesday, 3/7 - we'll work on some verbs; we'll complete the pre-writing packet.
• Wednesday, 3/8 - 1/2 Day - we'll work on writing the final essay. 
• Thursday, 3/9 - Academic Advisory - verbs; writing the final essay - due Friday.
• Friday, 3/10 - Final Assessment Essay is due!  Then we'll do Khan Academy for the PSAT tutorials.

That's the plan.  I hope everyone has a good Sunday and a great week.  Ciao!
