REMINDER: LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSES ARE WALKING TO THE MAIN LIBRARY TOMORROW. Please dress appropriately for the weather and for walking. We will have a tour of the library and learn some helpful information for NHD. Bring your library cards because you will have a few minutes to visit the young adult section and check out books.
Advanced Math: We finished up the preliminary discussion for 2.3 and got a pretty good start on it. The majority of students were almost finished. Assignment for tomorrow: Finish 2.3, do p.23 #6.
Language Arts: Today was our last day of poetry for awhile. Students wrote "I Can't Write a Poem" poems, applying their knowledge about sound/poetic devices. Since these were turned in as an exit ticket, there is no new homework for tomorrow. A few students are still missing their ekphrastic poems, the last journal entry (#5--the second #5; I made a mistake with my numbering), and credo poems. These students have detention with me after school in order to get their work done.
National History Day: Students were given a list of databases that they can use to research their topics. We will finalize topics after students have had some time to do the necessary research. Basically, a topic is approved if the student can justify its connection to the NHD theme, Turning Points in History.
