I feel that some students are ready to throw in the metaphoric towel. It almost the end of the semester, and while courses are winding down, students seem to be slowing down as well. Don't give in! Keep working hard! It is now that you can gain or lose those extra marks that will help you as you write finals.
All ELA finals will be written on Monday, January 24th. The schedule is as follows:
- ELA 30 Departmental 9:00 a.m.
- ELA 10 9:00 a.m.
- ELA 20 afternoon
ELA 30
We have now started our novel study "More Joy in Heaven". It is based on a true story and is about a character named Kip Caley who is a 'reformed' convicted bank robber who is released from prison after ten years of his sentence. He becomes a sensation within his city, creating media frenzy. Will he stay out of trouble? Stay tuned to find out...
Students have chapters to read and questions to do each day, according to their reading guides. The character charts will be due on the 18th of January, and we will be having a test on the book on the 19th. The 20th and 21st will be review for the departmental.
ELA 20
We are finishing up our Unit Recollections of Childhood. After the unit, we will be reviewing for the Final.
ELA 10
We have started reading The Miracle Worker. We will be having a short quiz before the final and the students will be completing their questions for each act as we read.
ELA 9
The students had their last writing period today for their short stories. The rough drafts for the stories are due Monday. They will be given a period on Monday to type out their story. It is due on the 18th of Jan.
Our next Unit is called "Write" for Success. We will be focusing on letter and resume writing along with other things that will help the students be ready for the workforce. I am sure they will find it very applicable to real life.
