Hello! Sorry for the long break between postings. I have been quite sick - down with a fever for nearly 2 weeks --- and while I'm back at school, things are still a bit slow. English - we are reading 2 different books in class - Shakespeare's Secret and Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet. Both books are modern young adult novels designed for reading pleasure and to help us ease in to our study of Shakespeare and Midsummer Night's Dream. Students have a question sheet and a reading schedule - Books and all the questions should be completed by Tuesday of next week (4/23). There will be a book project assigned upon the completion of the book. History - We completed our study of the Native American experience in the Pacific Northwest. And culminated with a quiz on Tuesday and the movie Smoke Signals (which we will finish tomorrow) Next up is the pioneer experience and the beginnings of cities in Washington - as well as environmental impact and social stuggles of a growing population. Choice books for 4th quarter may be the other book offered in class....a poetry anthology....a another book of their choosing.
