January 2 - January 5

English Lit/ English Comp

Welcome back!  I hope you had an enjoyable break.  This week students will be reading "Thank You, M'am."  The focus will be on textual analysis, elements of plot, multiple-meaning words, prepositions, and prepositional phrases. 

As of now, the test is tentatively scheduled for January 9th; however, I may need to push it back 1-2 days.  In the event that I decide to move the test, I will let you know. 

Below you will find the study guide, additional practice, and an answer key for the additional practice.  These tools will help you prepare for the test.

December 18 - December 22

English Literature/ English Composition

We are a bit behind schedule because of the delay and the early dismissal last week.  Some of the classes had to take their test today instead of last Friday. 

We will be in the computer lab Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday completing classroom diagnostic testing. 

Junior high students will be watching a holiday movie in the auditorium on Friday. 

Have a merry Christmas!

December 11 - December 15

English Lit/ English Comp

This week we will be finishing the first act of A Christmas Carol.  Students will receive the study guide on Monday, and the test will be on Friday.  Throughout the week, we will focus on dialogue, subject-verb agreement, literary analysis, and vocabulary. 

Students are also wrapping up Pearson's Mid-Year testing.

Students will only have homework if they fail to complete their assignments during class.  As always,
I highly recommend completing the additional practice.
