With English I Honors students having their End of Course Exam behind them now (what a relief for them, I know), we returned to business as usual. Fourth period students finished a round-up of all the work they completed while I was out.

Class notes

We had two writing assignments students finished during my absence, so there was a good amount of catching up and debriefing to do.

Class notes

We also set some due dates for the end of the year:

Due dates

It looks like a horrible amount of work for the end of the year, but I have a reputation to worry about.

Sixth period English I Honors students looked at how Harper Lee increased tension in the trial scene of To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s about the sixth possible topic for the end-of-the-unit project, which we will be completing in record time. (See the above note about reputation.)

English 8 Strategies students continued working on their final project.

Homework

• English I Honors: fourth period students: read chapters 11 and 12 by tomorrow. (And complete all the work in the image above!) sixth period students: read chapter twenty-four by tomorrow — twice.
