English I Honors had a whoosh through 3.1 of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare is starting to turn the screws increasingly tighter, making things more and more challenging for our young lovers. We’ll be starting our culminating writing project on Monday, so students need to read the song lyrics in the homework to be prepared for Monday.

English 8 students had their final day of planning for their Seven Habits presentations Monday. Outlines are due when the presentations are due.

100% Club

We had a couple of first-time members in the 100% club this week.

Homework

• English 8: work on your outline and presentation as necessary.
• English I Honors: 
  • re-read 3.1;
  • listen to and read the lyrics of “Decoration Day,” finding three ways in which the song and the play are similar;
  • complete the first play discussion forum on the Moodle (I won’t be checking these until later this weekend, so you might still have time).
