9.19.08

Parents/Guardians: It was very nice to meet those of you that came out last night. I hope that you find the blog useful in helping your student in my course. Please feel free to contact me at any time during the course with any questions or concerns.

Brit Lit: Block A: I had some fun up my sleeve this am- but you needed socks. Please try to remember to have a spare sock for Monday...... If any of you did not pass in your paper assignment this morning: Today we talked about pilgrimages. In the Canterbury Tales, they are on a religious pilgrimage. This morning, we went to the computer lab and wrote about your own pilgrimage. In one page (250 words) please describe a modern day pilgrimage that had an impact on who you are. Please describe the journey, what you discovered about yourself, and whether it lived up to your expectations.

Only 4 of you passed in your HW from last night. Please use the weekend to finish, and make sure that you have it on Monday morning.

Don't forget your socks- we will need them for Macbeth....

Block B: I loved your sock folk this am- I can still see Sarah looking at her sock and admiring it with a big smile all class. She may have puppets in her future..... I was disappointed with HW. Please take advantage of the extra time and pass it in on Monday....

Soph Lit: Holden theatre went well today. What most of you did not realize was that we were learning, in the midst of having fun. What a great way to review..... Speaking of review....we will have a game this Monday, with your test on Tuesday. This will be your first significant grade- so make sure that you look over your notes, as well as the novel this weekend.

Also, on Monday I will be collecting you 1st Draft (with peer edits), your checklist (signed by a peer), and your final copy. Please staple them together, with your final copy on top. Hopefully, this is already done and you can enjoy your weekend without the though of my class....


Have a great, safe, weekend.
I am staying after today to watch the Tantasqua Field Hockey Team beat Shepherd Hill. Good luck to all the sport teams, music kids, and cheerleaders this weekend!
