It's second semester! I'm working on grading Part II of all of the finals and am going as quickly as I can while still giving them all a good read.
Second semester brings the argument unit with students writing arguments and synthesis papers, a gender and a science and nature unit, The Great Gatsby, acting out A Raisin in the Sun, and the final narrative unit where students will write a good draft of their college essay or a research paper exploring a specific job title. It's hard to believe there's about four and a half months until you're all seniors!
Here's what's on the agenda for the short week ahead:
MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Go to the College and Career Center for a walk-through of Naviance and some general information about the ACT and SAT exams.
Due: Please attempt to log into Naviance. If you can't get in and/or don't have a working account, please e-mail me at mogilefskya@pvpusd.net with your name and preferred e-mail address. (I sent you an e-mail this weekend with this request.)
Homework: Please read Huckleberry Finn through the end of Chapter 26 (page 180 in the library version).
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY: Journal warm-up. Go over the answers to Part I and II of the final. Receive vocabulary list for next week's quiz, (no quiz this week). Read and act out Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn group activity.
Due: Huckleberry Finn, through the end of Chapter 26.
Homework: Huckleberry Finn, through the end of Chapter 29 for next class.
FRIDAY: No school for students - teacher/staff training day.
