November 5

Mr. Janz was in today.

ENGLISH 10

Today's class started with a review of the three chapters read in the last lesson. We discussed a) Why doesn't Rowdy rip up the cartoon? b) Why does Penelope quasi date Junior? and c) What do you think of Rowdy's advice on love? And Gordy's advice?

Then students read three (3) more chapters: Dance, Dance, Dance, Don't Trust Your Computer, and My Sister Sends Me a Letter. Students were to write a brief summary of each chapter's events and then explain what they thought is the most important point that each chapter tries to communicate.

HUMANITIES 8

Today class started a three (3) lesson project: "Mapping the Lost Continent". In small groups, students are to collaborate on the specifics of a 'newly found continent'. They must each produce a map which shares certain characteristics: latitude & longitude lines, coordinates, a compass rose with declination, a map scale, very similar coastline & geological features, and a legend.

Then each member must choose a different type of map to produce individually: resource map, climate map, or a topographical map. These map types must include the correct elements to present the relevant information clearly.

This project WILL END Monday and, sorry, no extensions are possible.
