I’d promised students going on the Beta Club trip during the week of our return that I would post some information about the work we’ll be doing during their absence. For some classes, working ahead will be tricky: much of it will be research skills we work on in the library. For others, it will generally be a question of reading.

English Studies (first period) and English Strategies (second and sixth periods)

We will be working on a quick review of informational texts and a review of the research process by beginning a mini-unit researching an element of World War Two. I will revise this post later in the week in order to supply some of the reading materials. Some of the materials are under copyright, so I won’t be able to post everything.

English I Honors (fourth period)

Fourth period will be finishing up Great Expectations. Students going on the trip would do well simply to complete the book and continue taking theme notes to put into the database upon return.
