Don't forget Monday is a PD day so the students do not have to come to school.
Today we took up Act 2 and had two more speakers corners. We also took up the grammar work from yesterday. Hopefully everyone is getting the idea that we must capitalize properly and think about how we are writing not just what we are writing.
This weekend students have a bit of homework to finish on Act 3 &4. It is a worksheet similar to Act 2. There is also a paragraph that is due on Wednesday about a character other than Jake. The paragraph is not intended to take them a tremendous amount of time but I would like them to type it and write it in formal style. Finally on Wednesday we will be having a quiz on Act 3 &4. By the end of next week the students should have the novel finished as we will be starting on the final essay assignment.
