9th Grade -
We worked on developing background information for Fahrenheit 451. I did a short lecture on the context of when the book was written, and we went over some of the major themes and elements that students should be looking for while reading.
Either copy the notes from someone else in the class, or come see me to look over my lecture notes.
We also had the 1st writing prompt for the unit - What should be censored, why, and who should have the capability to censor? (For example, video games are often censored due to violent content).
Response must be 1-2 pages, handwritten, double-spaced. If you do this at home and not in your in-class writing journal, staple it or paperclip into your notebook.
10th Grade -
We took the Literary Term B.O.E. exam today.
I also suggest that students now start checking their grades on-line, since everything has been set up from when I started teaching. Any missing assignments (in-class writing, personal book check) need to get brought into me by Dec. 1st for credit.
If you missed today (or missed the 22nd/23rd and were excused) - you must make up the B.O.E. exam by Dec 1st (or Dec 2nd, for those who has both days excused) during lunch or after school.
