Back to normal...

Now that testing is FINALLY over, here's what's going on in class:
READING: Your book projects are due on Friday, October 19.  Make sure you see me for paper if you want to do the story board.  Also, if you are doing a Keynote, you must present to the class.

Yesterday we read "The Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.  You will be working on some comprehension questions both individually and as a group.  You will also be watching the video of the story, and then will be asked to write a compare/contrast piece for the story and video.

ENGLISH: There is a vocab quiz over the first Vocab-u-lit packet that was due yesterday.  The quiz is Friday.  Thursday is the last day to work in class on your collage for the Museum of I project.  On Friday you will begin brainstorming for the essay piece of the project.  The entire project will be due on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2. On that day, you will be presenting to the class.  Presentations will go into the next week.
