October 17 - October 21

English
Periods 1, 4, 6, & 8

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had quite a few changes in the schedule last week.

We were unable to have our grammar quiz last week.  The grammar quiz will be Friday, October 21, 2016.

The selection test for "An Invisible Thread" will be on Thursday, October 21, 2016.  The study guide can be accessed using the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8tzX_0EGf3CZjZtWkVTdFBmUmc/view?usp=sharing

This week we will be writing an explanatory essay.  We will gather textual evidence, develop a thesis statement, draft an essay, revise, and edit.  This is an elaborate process that will take the entire week.


PSSA SSR

Students will read silently from bell to bell.  We will be handing out a project this week.  Students will have a list of possible projects to choose from.  Students complete the project that interests them the most.

Career Exploration
Periods 3 & 7

Students will continue to work on wages and budgets.  Students will research the career that they would like to have after high school.  Based on that information, they will create a budget for their future selves.
