English I:
Today we took our Wordskills 2 Exam and began work on our Poetry Project. Remember the deal about the project - this is five grades rolled into one project. The memorization and paper will count as a quiz grade, the creative writing will count as a homework grade. All of those grades will then be averaged together to create a test grade. Thus, it is important that you not miss any part of this project. The project will be due the week of March 14th - specific dates will come closer to this week once I see what the schedule looks like. This means that you have three study halls before the project is due to meet with me. You must realize that you will not do well with this assignment if you wait until the last minute.
For tonight's homework I would like for you to answer the following question and put your response in the box on Monday/Tuesday.
Why did you choose the poem that you selected for this project?As you answer the question use details from the poem as well as your literary vocabulary: talk about figurative language, tone, and structure. Also, if you can find any information on your author, please include a few facts with a citation.
English III:
I think that we got off to a good start with today's presentations. I will be grading your websites this weekend, thus if there is anything not on the site that should be there you have until Sunday morning to make any edits or corrections. I will grade all of your sites on Sunday.
For tonight, you don't have anything that is due tomorrow. Those of you presenting tomorrow will want to be ready for that and those of you turning in redo vocabulary cards will want to have those. I would also spend some time looking over your notes to begin studying. I will give you some ideas for things to focus on tomorrow as you study; but you should know by now that I won't tell you everything. Don't forget - your exam on Catcher will be Monday.
Enjoy the rainy afternoon. See you tomorrow!!!
