Homework 4/16

Finish the crossword and the word scramble (or search if that is what your class got).  3rd and 4th periods, your notebooks are due tomorrow; 6th and 7th you are up on Thursday!

Good Luck, Minions!!!

Your English I STAAR exams are tomorrow (writing) and Tuesday (reading), in case you had forgotten.  ;)   So, here are some last minute words of advice.

Remember to eliminate answers that can't be the answer for multiple choice questions, to pace yourself with essays (alternate with multiple choice to avoid fatigue!), to roughly sketch out plans for your essays so you don't end up stuck not knowing where to go (and don't forget strong thesis statements and good examples with expository essays and a plot that has resolution and engaging characters in your stories on literary essays), that OERs use textual evidence (and are on Tuesday's test), to read all selections and questions thoroughly to avoid missing key words and ideas, and most importantly...BREATHE!

I believe in you, minions, so believe in yourselves!  <3

Homework 3/7

Make sure you have 6 of the Bully Follow Up questions done for class tomorrow.  We will finish the last two and discuss all of them in class tomorrow.  One more day, minions!  :)

Super Important Reminders, 2/25

First, make sure you finished all the quickwrites on pp. 94-95 so we can actually do our Philosophical Chairs tomorrow! Also, IANs are due this week. First and second period, y'all are due tomorrow. Third and fourth, y'all are on Wednesday. And sixth and seventh, you know what to do Thursday. You should have all work on pp. 84-95 done! Looking forward to tomorrow, so get all the writing done! :)

Homework 2/20

Those "Beauty" Discussion Questions are due tomorrow at the beginning of class. Make sure you get them done! And please, minions, BRING IN YOUR TEXTBOOKS or TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BAR CODES ON THE SPINE! Okay. Thank you, and see you tomorrow! :)

Homework 2/19

Just a reminder that the "Beauty" Discussion Questions are due Thursday at the beginning of class.  You won't have much, if any, time on them tomorrow, so you should work on them some tonight and some tomorrow night to lessen the "burden."  Don't procrastinate, minions!  ;)

Homework Reminder 2/17

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, young ones.  In case you have forgotten, you need to finish the yellow "After You Read 1-3" on "Beauty..." if you didn't in class.  Thanks!

Be the Change projects due tomorrow!

Make sure they are ready when you come to class!  I will be in my room before school if you need to come finish anything.  Remember you should each have a copy of the brainstorm and the proposal/procedure, but you only need one poster.  Can't wait to see the final projects!  :)

Reminder 2/9

Remember, there is no formal homework assignment this weekend, but if you need to do things for your project (find pictures, finish your proposal/procedure, work on poster, etc.) so that it is ready w/o much class time Monday, then please do that!  Oh, and hope to see you at STAAR Academy this morning!

Homework 2/4

Finish the tone OER on "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder..."  Thanks!  :)
