English 10- we have finished up writing a five paragraph essay. We are going back to grammar for a while. Currently students are working with collective nouns. Collective nouns are names for groups or collections, such as mob, crowd, committee, or flock. parts of numbers or sums of money are collective nouns. (three-fifths, one-third, $100). We will also be reviewing pronouns this week.
Students have also chosen a book to read as a book of choice. They will need to have it finished before Christmas break. That only gives them three weeks. They are given about 10-15 minutes per day to read in class. Once in class assignments are done students should make use of their extra time by reading.
English 12- Students are just finishing up writing children's books using literary elements. This week also includes writing five paragraph essays. I know several students are going to be retaking the ACT in December and I wanted them to have a chance to practice writing before taking the test. I will post the requirements for the paper and the ACT writing hand.
Civics- Started Unit 3. We will finish up the unit on Monday and take a unit test more than likely on Thursday next week.
As it gets closer to the holidays and Winter break please stay focused and get assignments in on time.
