Some comments and quick reminders.
- You must use the website in order to succeed in this class, find out homework, and get materials in order to complete assignments.
- At least ⅔ of students report studying for the quiz that we had on October 9. I do wonder what the ⅓ of students… no, let’s not go into that area. I feel it is necessary to help those students who try, and want to succeed. I also will help students do their best, but students must always start with their best foot forward. Some students need additional help, and I am here to help them as well.
- We will have student - parent - teacher conferences next week. If you would like to have a conference, we can also have a conference in the weeks to come if you did not get a scheduled conference for next week. Students are expected to attend, since they must be empowered to be in charge of their successes and learn from any difficulties they may have.
This week we will continue our in class novel, Stargirl. We will also pursue our narrative writing unit with more fervor, now that our outside novel, Realistic Fiction, presentations are complete. We will learn how to capture the details of reality and use it our fictional writing over the next three weeks.
We will continue our study of Roman History. This week we will read and understand the decline of the Roman Republic before it became an Empire with some student group prentations. We will continue to examine the similarities between Rome and the USA, which will be reflected in our second pocket booklet activity.
