Vocabulary and a Rubric

First, second, and seventh periods worked on vocabulary for the reading we’ll be doing tomorrow.

Fourth period had a quiz and Q&A session on the latest chapters of the novel. We ended doing work with pronouns as part of our parts of speech review.

Additionally, fourth period began working on the rubric we’ll be using to evaluate the Lord of the Flies project, tentatively due Friday 11 September. Our notes looked like this:

About Mr. Scott

One of three eighth-grade English Language Arts teachers at Hughes Academy, I have fourteen years' experience in the classroom, including experience teaching English as a Foreign Language and working with at-risk youth. Most of my teaching experience is international. For seven years, I taught English in a small village in the south of Poland. It was a constant challenge, but immensely rewarding. My first job when I returned to the States was as a teaching assistant in an EC classroom, working primarily with children on the autism spectrum. During the 2006/7 school year, I worked at a day-treatment facility for at risk youth, teaching social studies, science, and social skills. I graduated from King College in Bristol, Tennessee with a degree in English, minoring in Secondary Education.
