Mrs. J. Underhill
We began the Romantic Poets Unit today. I am uploading all of the handouts from today's class, for those of you not in class today.
Poetry Test - Thursday, April 18
All students began reading independently today. Most students went to the library or found books off of my shelf, therefore, all students should be reading at least 20 minutes a day from now until the end of the year. We will be completing book reports on these independent novels, so be sure to read whenever you can!!
Today is the last day to pass in and/or email your portfolio projects. Please do so by 3:00 today.
***All Outsider Portfolio Assignments are due by 3:00 on Thursday. No exceptions unless already discussed with me.
***Students have had 4 and 1/2 weeks to complete these projects and many students have used their time wisely and are well on their way to completing these projects. Many students have been coming to me during Flex and working diligently on these! Great work, peeps! I can't wait to see all of the wonderful projects you have created.
1. Copy definitions page 533
2. Copy and complete questions page 541
*Read section 2 of World War 1 chapter, if you missed today's class.
Students received the final assignment for the class novel, Of Mice and Men, today. I have uploaded it below and we will begin working on these in tomorrow's class.
Copy and complete questions 5-10 on page 537 for tomorrow. You are also responsible to copy the map on page 536. You will need to know this map for the unit test.
Students received directions to completing a portfolio for The Outsiders novel study we are doing in class. This assignment was handed out to the students February 21. These projects are due next Thursday, March 28.This means the students have had over 4 weeks to work on these. They were given some class time but they were told to be working on these during Flex and/or at home. I have had students coming into my Flex class on a steady basis BUT some students have not even started these projects! I encourage ALL of you to be working on these projects as they will make up over ½ of your final mark in this unit!
I have uploaded the guidelines for anyone who needs them. Come see me if you need any assistance and/or directions.
If you have not passed in all of the items worked on before March Break, please do so by Wednesday.
