Mrs. Stubbs's English Blog: Important Assignments Ahead

Good morning! I'm running early this weekend, I think because my anxiety is running high for both of my groups. In English 9 we've finished reading The Crucible, so we're working on the final assessment which is a multi-paragraph analytical essay; right now we're working on the outline. In English 10 we're finishing the research paper rough draft (due Monday by midnight) and heading toward the presentation portion of this project. My nerves are definitely jangling away, so I can only imagine how their's are.

Here's our schedule for the week:

English 9

Monday, 3/5 - we'll finish the outline for the paper and begin to type - it's due Thursday!
Tuesday, 3/6 - Academic Advisory - we'll continue to type the paper on Google Classroom
Wednesday, 3/7 - 1/2 Day and Parent/Teacher Conferences from 2:30-5:30 - we'll continue to type the paper on Google Classroom
Thursday, 3/8 - PSAT Advisory - we'll type and turn in the final paper and if time start the movie
Friday, 3/9 - they'll get reading log #17 and we'll watch the movie for The Crucible

English 10

Monday, 3/5 - the rough draft is due submitted through Google Classroom by midnight
Tuesday, 3/6 - Academic Advisory - we'll work on the boards for the presentation
Wednesday, 3/7 - 1/2 Day and Parent/Teacher Conferences from 2:30-5:30 - we'll continue work on the boards
Thursday, 3/8 - PSAT Advisory - finish the boards and work on the index card for the speech
Friday, 3/9 - they'll get reading log #17 and either work on their speech or silently read

For both groups it's very important that they're in class so that they hear all of the information and have time to ask questions unless they absolutely have to be out. I can't emphasize this enough.

Parent/Teacher Conferences: these are held from 2:30-5:30 in the gym and cafeteria at the high school on Wednesday, 3/7. I've sent out emails and made phone calls inviting those who are struggling with anything below a 70%, but all are welcome. Please come visit!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Ciao!
