Same as yesterday.

And tomorrow.

If things went according to plan, it was much the same today as it was yesterday. Still, I wouldn’t know: I’m still out, hoping everything went well, with many other things on my mind as well.

• First and sixth periods continued with a new unit on Monster by Walter Dean Myers.
• Second and fourth periods are finishing up their research for the Great Expectations research paper.
• Seventh period continued with the bias and propaganda unit.

We finished up our final day of PASS testing and moved back to regularly scheduled programming. Sixth period continued with Monster while first period began it. Second period had another day of research (before tomorrow’s final day). We also took a quick look at the Great Expectations Research Project Rubric

Homework

None.

Only fourth and seventh periods met today due to PASS testing. Fourth period students had another day of research — the next-to-last day — and seventh period took a bit of a break with a logic puzzle.

Fourth period had class during the sixth period and continued research for their papers. Seventh period continued working on connotation and bias.

Almost all classes today worked on PASS prep for tomorrow’s English test. Second and fourth periods continued their research for the Charles Dickens/Victorian England
