Humanities 8

Today after silent reading, we organized all our poetry work into one package.  Then students were asked to do a worksheet with some basic history terms.  As a class we discussed the reasons why we study history and then I explained the connection between Roman chariots and space shuttles. 

English 10 (H block)

Today we skipped silent reading and briefly went over the rubric for the comparison essay that students are writing.  The remainder of the block was spent in the library writing the final version of the essay.  This was the last day to work on the essays and if students were unable to hand them in today, they were reminded that it had to be in on Thursday or else they would be expected to come into school on Friday to finish it off.
