English Studies began their final project for the Nightjohn unit, a project which focuses on themes in the novel. Students will be integrating Prezi with audio recordings to make a self-presenting presentation, for lack of a better term.

English I Honors students began the poetry unit. We began with a poem about poetry as we take a couple of days to figure out how to understand poetry. The process is labor-intensive:

Sixth period’s notes

Seventh period’s notes

English Strategies did the theme work for chapter four. We’ll be moving on to chapter five tomorrow.
