Mr. Janz was in today.

ENGLISH 10

Today students started working on their research assignment on Sherman Alexie, the author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. They were provided with a handout to complete based on four websites (two of which the student needed to find and two were provided) with information on Alexie: 3 things learned about Sherman Alexie, How the website helps with understanding the novel, and the student's comments, questions, and/or connections after viewing the websites.

By the end of class, students were to hand in the previous three ATDPTI assignment and the Alexie research assignment stapled together in sequential order. If they were unable to hand in the work today, it is due at the start of next class.

HUMANITIES 8

Class started off with a quiz on chapters 9 & 10 of The Outsiders.

Students were then given time to read chapters 11 & 12 in class. THERE WILL BE A QUIZ ON THESE CHAPTERS TOMORROW.

As a class we talked about THEME in the novel. We talked about how the book shows these ideas and how the students' life experiences can connect to those themes. In small groups, students sought out examples of both theme and setting within the story and recorded the information to use later.
