Have We Had Enough Snow Yet?

Well that was quite the snow event. I live in the city, and the plows just came through (this is Saturday night), so I can only imagine what the back roads have been like.  We'll see what Sunday brings. 😯

Despite the interruptions last week, we did manage to accomplish a bit: English 9 read most of Act II of The Crucible, and English 10 read Walt Whitman's "O Captain, My Captain." They all did some Type 1's focusing on comma rules, and will continue with more this week.  English 10 received scheduling information for 11th grade, and we'll do the actual process this coming week.

This coming week English 10 will begin the Wax Museum Project.  Starting Monday they'll sign up for a poet or author to research, and then we'll begin.  I walk them through the entire process, and the key dates are: Tuesday 3/13, the Wax Museum Presentation from 6:00-8:00 in the high school cafeteria; the paper must be turned in by Friday, 3/16.

Here's the schedule for this week:

English 9

• Monday, 2/12 - hand out reading log #15 - due Thursday; type 1 commas; finish reading Act II and add to characters and notes
• Tuesday, 2/13 - Academic Advisory - type 1 commas; Act II quiz; hand out Act III parts and vocab.; begin reading Act III
• Wednesday, 2/14 - type 1 commas - turn in for week; read Act III
• Thursday, 2/14 - PSAT Advisory - TURN IN READING LOG #15; read Act III
• Friday, 2/15 - no school - mid-winter break

English 10

• Monday, 2/12 - hand out reading log #15 - due Thursday; type 1 commas; sign up for research topics; investigative research sheet - due Tuesday, 2/13 on Google Classroom

As always, things can change, so I'll change the electronic calendar with them.  I hope everyone has a great week.  Ciao!
