Second and sixth periods began working on the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack project, looking at a song as a class and determining how it could be connected to the play.

Seventh period looked at the question of how Brian has changed in the novel Hatchet. We used the “Written Discussion” engagement to have a very effective class discussion.

Homework
  • First and sixth periods: none.
  • Second and fourth periods: make sure you’ve selected both your difficult and easy soundtrack song within the next couple of days.
  • Seventh period: none.

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.
