Four Day Week

April showers are definitely at work today. April ice? Maybe that's more accurate.  The only thing that makes it okay in my book is that I know nicer weather is coming, so I can deal with it.

We're now solidly into the fourth term of the year, and we're plenty busy.  Last week was brutal with SAT/PSAT testing in the middle of everything, but we made it through. English 9 has begun our research unit which is based around Temple Grandin's Animals in Translation (chapter 1). This year we timed it out perfectly since Temple Grandin is autistic and this is Autism Awareness Month. English 10 has begun Macbeth and will finish Act I this week.

Here's this week's schedule:

English 9

• Monday, 4/15 - finish the Temple Grandin movie; do the vocab. packet
• Tuesday, 4/16 - Academic Advisory - Type 1's commas; read pp. 1-8 of chapter 1; study guide
• Wednesday, 4/17 - Type 1's semicolons; finish pp. 1-8; TIQA paragraph quiz
• Thursday, 4/18 - NO ADVISORY - Type 1's semicolons - turn in; finish TIQA paragraph quiz and turn in
• Friday, 4/19 - NO SCHOOL

English 10

• Monday, 4/15 - watch Act I of Macbeth; work on character analysis in packet - all characters
• Tuesday, 4/16 - Academic Advisory - Verb Tense packet; Type 1 Ambition; finish study guide and characters in packet
• Wednesday, 4/17 - Verb Tense packet; Type 1 Themes; finish Act I packet
• Thursday, 4/18 - NO ADVISORY - Verb Tense packet; Type 1's - Theme and Character; Quiz for Act I - TIQA Paragraph
• Friday 4/19 - NO SCHOOL

That's the plan.  I hope everyone has a great week!
