March 13 and 17

This blog post has to account for a strange schedule over the weekend. Tuesday is a 1 through 7 day, so the even periods 2 and 6 are going to have an agenda similar to the one from March 13, but because of the limited time, we may have to adjust and move some things to Wednesday.

Period 1: Agenda

Most of the period was spent working the Animal Farm review sheet, and we ended the class with the 50 question Animal Farm quiz.

Period 3: Agenda

We worked with an Active Reading worksheet, but the class was extremely talkative, and we got far behind schedule. After reviewing the worksheet, class ended while most students were in the middle of the quiz. Hopefully, the lesson we learned is that we need to behave in class to make sure we have time to complete the items on the agenda. Since most people were unfairly rushed, I will not be counting those quiz scores. On Tuesday, however, we will take another quiz on Animal Farm.

Period 5: Agenda

We started class with the review and quiz to make sure we had time to complete those tasks. We finished class with the first portion of the Active Reading activity, and the class will have to finish it as additional homework.

Homework:

All classes still have the same homework assignments with the exception of period 5 that also has to finish the Active Reading activity.

-Projects due March 23 for periods 1,3, and 5
March 24 for periods 2, 4, and 6

-Animal Farm test next class. Be sure to read and review.

-Copy the rules from Chapter 21 of Elements of Language. The rules start with rule 21a and got to 21g4. Only copy the red text, but don't be afraid to read the surrounding text and check out the examples and charts.

-Complete the "Staff Responsibilities" worksheet which comes from the CAHSEE Practice Exam that we started working with last class.
