English I Honors finished up (almost) all our work on fate and Romeo and Juliet in general with a short look at how to deal with some of the insane prompts they’ll encounter in high school. We went over Kelly Gallagher’s “ABCs (and D) of On-Demand Writing” before applying it to a tricky prompt that, we determined, had eighteen possible ways of responding correctly.

Notes from English I Honors

English 8 Strategies completed a very challenging text, looking for argumentative elements as we work our way through the second, more advanced unit on argumentative writing.

Creative writing students worked on their teacher class profile projects and/or their audio projects.

Homework
