Tuesday's already behind us - here is the scoop on the week:
block one: working on night of the notables essay - this is in class for now, but ongoing out of class research would be great and finding a costume should be underway as well. look for ch. 8 wsh questions by tomorrow.

blocks 2 and 3: questions through ch. 25 were checked in class today - and we started work on our plot trees - for those students not going to the ch. 3 Q6 field trip, tomorrow will be a work day - trees, reading, night of the notables research, newspapers, etc... - for those that are going, they will need to finish their trees by monday. everyone has ch. 26 questions, reading of ch. 27, and a paragraph for ch.. 28 due on thursday. we will finish the reading of the book in class on thursday as well! discussion, an in-class writing, and the movie will follow next week. whew! and while we're at it....THINK SUN - THIS TEACHER HAS GROWN VERY TIRED ON THE GRAY DREARIES.

P.S. remind your students to keep up with the night of the notable research - the first due dates will come the end of this month and then things will move fairly quickly!

sorry for the late post - for blocks one, we are continuing with mrs. cartwright and mrs. johnson as they take the class through the "why try" program (a program to educate students regarding making good choices, goal setting, and understanding consequences) --- we are also working through the remainder of the WSH book.

blocks 2 and 3 - we are continuing to work through To Kill a Mockingbird - all students should be through ch. 15 by tomorrow 2/3 - and through ch. 23 by monday 3/8 --- they should have questions answered for each chapter. We are also learning more about race relations in the america and the civil rights movement as part of our study TKM, but these topics also apply to our study of WSH and Civics.

ALL STUDENTS: Should be working on research for Night of the Notables --- each student has a packet with expectations and due dates.
