February 12

Humanities 8

Today we started off with writing our Ancient Rome test.  Next students were asked to organize their folders and complete a self-assessment for the unit.  They were also asked to make sure their crosswords/word searches were finished and a classmate had solved it.  Finally, if time allowed students were directed to silent read. 

English 10 (C & D blocks)

Today we skipped silent reading due to the shortened blocks.  We started off watching "Instructions for a Bad Day" and discussing it.  We reviewed the criteria for poems and the poetry package.  Students spent the rest of the class flexing their creative muscles by writing poems.  The completed package is due Feb 22.
