Week of October 24

READING: This week we are going to read the short story "Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe.  It's pretty creepy!  Don't forget your comic life projects with the graphic organizer are due this FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28.

ENGLISH: This week you have Lesson 3 in Vocab-u-Lit.  The packet is due this Wednesday.  There will be a quiz on Friday.  Make sure you learn the difference between lay/lie and their/there/they're for the quiz as well!
MUSEUM OF I: you should purchase the white board and be planning the organization at home.

"Museum of I" update

The next time you go to Walmart, Target, or the Dollar Store, look for 3x5 notecards.  They will help you with your oral presentation...and they are REQUIRED!  You will need them in class next week to start planning.

Keep up with your work!

Reading: Make sure you get your reading long signed every week.  Several people's homework grades are very poor because they aren't bringing in the log.  That should be an easy grade, so get in the habit.  Your first book project, a comic strip using Comic Life, is due on Oct. 28.

English: Two parts of your Museum of I should be done: self portrait/collage and the Care essay.  Make sure you get your board for the back drop and start planning how you want to organize it.  The final project is due on Monday, November 14.
