Summary: For the next 2 weeks, we will be focusing on grammar; I will do a quick review from last year’s material to build on the new material (phrases); there will be several pop quizzes, as students must stay caught up day to day in order to apply new information to previously studied material. We will also begin the book SPEAK and our study of resilient traits of children so that we can apply those traits to the main character and so that we may explore our own resilient traits.
Mon. 9-30 All blocks: Auto/biography book of choice assignment is due along with rubric, as always. I will hand out next class novel SPEAK and make assignments. Part 1/First Marking Period is due 10-7; part 2/Second Marking period is due 10-21; part 3/Third Marking Period is due 10-31; part 4/Fourth Marking Period is due in next trimester/date will be announced later. Each reading due date will come with a quiz over your reading, of course, and then with a few days of discussion that follow. Look ahead on due dates and agenda: Roots 2 test tomorrow (COMPREHENSIVE); vocabulary test Friday.
