English 8 Strategies students today continued with the model story “Tears of Autumn” as we begin our final unit, a STEAM unit in which all teachers will be working together on a theme of immigration and movement.
Fourth period English I Honors students began the next writing assignment on chapters 7 and 8 of Lord of the Flies. Sixth period English I Honors students finished up a final day of preparation before switching groups in their jigsaw activity.
As a note, I will be absent through 18 May for medical reasons. This will represent the final update until then.
