Week of February 16th
No school on Monday the 16th - enjoy the three day weekend!
Tuesday 2-17 the ROUGH draft of the Autobiography paper is due - rubric on class website (link under helpful links)
Thursday 2-19 Act 4 worksheet due
Friday 2-20 Vocabulary Quiz Lesson 16
We'll read Macbeth in class...our Act 2 quiz will be the day AFTER we finish the act...this is the policy for the entire play. A project/test will be at the conclusion of the play. We front loaded reading Macbeth in the beginning of the month so that you would have time to also "dig in" and read your OR book on nights when you have less work. REMEMBER you always have OR to read if you have not turned in your project...perhaps budget a few pages a night.

First day in the books!
One day down, the rest of the semester to go! Thanks for helping get the semester started on a good note!
Homework tonight:
1. write down all assignments (so far posted) in your planner
2. NOTE 1st vocabulary lesson will be lesson 15 - next week - quiz will be THURSDAY 2-12-09 as Friday the 13th is Grandparent's Day at school
3. Outside Reading Book #1 needs to be approved by tomorrow.
Only block 3 got to the writing prompt...no need to do that for homework...we'll start with the tomorrow.
I'll have the semester gradebook set up by the end of the week...you can start to check your grades online this weekend...
A few reminders for a successful semester:
1. always do your homework - come to tutoring in the morning to see if you did it correctly if you are needing extra help
2. always write down assignments WHEN THEY ARE POSTED...the goal is to give you notice...add the future dates into your planner! BUY a planner if you do not have one!
3. stay organized...your binder needs to have the syllabus in front and a section for vocab, grammar and literature. writing prompts that are grammar related will go in grammar, others will go behind your syllabus
4. daily trivia has always been an option...it is an opportunity for an extra point EVEY day...take advantage - I DO NOT round grades at the end of the semester because of this continuous "perk".
